Notes:
-If you swatch for this knit you should swatch in the round using body needles and follow
sections 2 through 7.
-The underlined blank spots next to each section title are for writing in which color you’re using if you choose to do a modification using more than 2 colors.
-This cowl is worked in one piece, in the round with a long tail cast on and tubular bind off. I have linked a video for the bind off if you haven’t done it before.
-Only one color is worked at a time so no stranded colorwork experience is needed. I recommend carrying your colors up your rows vertically to avoid a bunch of weaving in ends.
