This pattern includes suggestions for making your own modifications including adjusting stitch counts, heights, and which variation of Bee Stitch to use with each option. All cast on and bind off techniques used in this pattern are meant to be suggestions only. Any cast on and bind off will work with any of these variations.

V1: Funnel Shape, single color, worked in the round
This shape is created by working 4 decrease sections. If you would like a more dramatic decrease you will need to work more decrease rounds. To keep the height the same, work fewer pattern repeats between decrease rounds making sure to work a total of 25 pattern repeats. Feel free to contact me if you need help with this. To add to the length, just add more “tiers” of pattern repeats. Each 4 round pattern repeat adds a little less than 1⁄2”/1.27 cm.
Three different circumferences are offered to allow you pull the cowl down over your shoulders and wear it as more of a shoulder cozy.

V2: Tube Shape, 2 color non-traditional, worked in the round
The 2 color variation used in this design only works when knitting in the round since you change yarn colors on every rnd. Other than the color change, the actual Bee Stitch is worked exactly the same way as in every other variation of this design. To adjust the circumference of this cowl, add or subtract multiples of 2 to the cast on number.
MC is the color you choose for the top/bottom for the top/bottom folded picot cast on and bind off.

V3: Infinity Shape, 2 color Traditional, worked flat
This version is worked flat instead of in the round and short ends are seamed to create the infinity shape.
