Construction & Schematic

Construction

This cowl is worked in the round from the bottom up. Choose one of three cast ons based on your confidence level and then jump into the ribbing section. Work a decorative braid, and then it’s onto the colorwork section. There are some long sections of stranding without changing colors and it is recommended to wrap floats every 6-7 stitches. Work another lateral braid, some more ribbing, and bind off with one of two bind off choices.
