Notes:
-The colorwork in this pattern is striped, no stranded colorwork experience required. Only one color is worked at a time.
-This Cowl uses an exaggerated chevron style shape. For an infinity style double layer cowl, repeat all rows of the pattern twice but do not increase the cast on count. This will require doubling the listed yarn yardages.
-Worked in one piece in the round and uses the Kitchener Grafting Method for seaming the two ends together to form a sealed tube.
-Child and Adult Size are available. Follow the instructions listed for the size of your choice.
