A companion cowl for the Zig Zag Earflap Hat. This stranded cowl is perfect for keeping toasty on snowy days.

This cowl utilizes a turned under hem. This can be accomplished by folding your cast-on edge and knitting it together with a working row during knitting, or by turning and sewing the edge after your knitting is complete. I have provided two cast-on options to choose from based on personal preference.

Two charts are provided for each design. The first is a simple chart of the repeatable pattern. The 2nd is an expanded chart that allows you to visualize how the simple chart fits into the design.

Yarn requirements: 100 grams of Main color, 50 grams of Contrast color

Photo tutorials are included for the Latvian Braid, provisional (crochet chain) cast on, and grafting
