You will start at the bottom of the cowl and do this as a large rectangular panel. Once you get to panel, there are two regular double crochet rows added to the top and bottom edges. These additional rows are used to fold over and secure to the inside of the cowl to provide a beautiful rolled edge look. The circular look is done by sewing the two ends together as the very last step.I learned with this pattern how to do rolled over edges to make the cowl sit properly. Free tutorial is also available on how to do that concept.
