The Grey Haven cowl features a simple textured stitch made up of knit and purl stitches. The cowl starts with a provisional cast on and is knit flat on the bias from one end to the other, and then the ends are grafted together. The pattern is easy to memorize and it’s reversible, too!

The cowl is knit flat on the bias, and then seamed or grafted, depending on whether a provisional or non-provisional cast-on was use.

The sample cowl is a size large and was knit with Hinterland Dusk in the Smoke colourway.
