NOTES
• For techniques you don’t know, please visit our online knitting glossary at www.interweave.com/interweave-knitting-glossary.

• This cowl is worked from the point up. The lower section is worked back and forth in rows, then the work is joined and the cowl is worked in the round to the top edge.

• Beginning with Row 7 of Chart A, the MC border at the left-hand side of the piece is worked using the intarsia technique until the piece is joined in the round. Wind off a separate small ball of MC or use the other end of a center pull ball for this border.

• This cowl used nearly every yard of both skeins of yarn. You may want to purchase an extra skein of each color as insurance.
