PATTERN NOTES
This cowl is knit in the round from the bottom up. When working in Mosaic Pattern, only one color is used per round. Do not break yarn at color changes. Instead, carry unused colors up inside work. In this pattern, work all slipped stitches purlwise with yarn held in back.

The Mosaic Pattern is both written and charted for your convenience.
