With its bold stripes and modern, graphic lace motif, the Farleigh Cowl is a must-make this spring. Starting with a provisional cast-on, you’ll knit in the round through a series of contrasting stripes accentuated by blocks of lace. The easy-to-memorize pattern will make knitting “just one more round” irresistible.

NOTES
• For techniques you don’t know, please visit our online knitting glossary at www.interweave.com/interweave-knitting-glossary.

• This cowl begins with a provisional cast-on and is worked in the round as a tube. When the knitting is complete, the final round of sts is grafted to the cast-on edge.

• Do not break yarn at color changes; carry the yarn not in use along the inside of the tube, twisting the yarns together at the beginning of every other round.

• To create jog-less stripes, slip the first stitch of Rounds 2 and 12 purlwise with yarn in back.
