The Daga Cowl is cast on using a provisional cast-on and worked in the round using circular needles. It begins with 1x1 ribbing, followed by stranded colorwork. After that, the work is joined to form a seamless tube, and the final edge is bound off using a three‑needle bind‑off. This means it can be worn with either side facing out, or folded down to show both sides at once.
