Nori Cowl is worked seamlessly, from the top down, using European shoulder construction.
The back piece is worked flat, with increases for the back shoulders. The front shoulders are then picked up along the slanting edges of the back and worked separately while the neckline is shaped. The shoulders are then joined together and the front piece is worked back and forth. 

The edge stitches at the front and the back are worked along, at the same time.

Stitches at the neck opening are picked up and the collar is worked in the round in ribbing.
