This was my second try with this pattern. I knew I needed a single color, wool-spun yarn to coordinate with all the colors of the Yaizu colorway. I found the Victorian 2-ply wool at halcyon.com, in lilac, and the result is beautiful.

Yarn Usage. After about one-third of the Noro yarn was used, the piece was 20 inches long, so the length of the cowl should be perfect.

Half-Grafting. I found 10rowsaday’s tutorial on Half-Grafting clear and helpful. She shows you how to join live stitches to the cast-on edge of a garment with a beautiful seam.
