Overview

• This cowl is worked in the round, from one side to the other.
• The cowl is constructed by knitting seven sections (each section works directly into the next).
• The pattern is written for worsted weight yarn. O wool Local very much knits like a heavy worsted, which is why there is a 4.5 st/inch gauge on size US 9 needles.
• Mosaic + slip stitch knitting. Twisted stitches are also used.
• 3 charts are used in the knitting of the pattern. Written + charted directions are included.
