The cowl is knitted flat using either a long tail cast-on or a provisional cast-on.

Woodside is the area of Queens, New York that I grew up in. I have named this cowl pattern after it.

Here’s a cowl pattern where the stitch reminds me of fields of wheat.

Please note that this is my first attempt at publishing a pattern on Ravelry. I’ve not had anyone test this pattern and offering it as-is.
