When I reached the end of the striped section (13 +2 stripes from beginning + 1 stripe for connecting) i grafted the beginning and end stitches together one by one. I almost matched the tension of the stitches, so the graft is unnoticeable enough, there is a slight edge that you can feel but with my dislike of provisional cast ons, this works better for me. Frankenwolle held up really well for this part and I am happy. If I were to do this again, I would probably pick a different connecting spot for the graft, but since I didn’t change needle sizes throughout, this cowl doesn’t have a definite top/bottom part, the graft doesn’t have to sit near my face :)

Lovely and very intuitive pattern, I quite enjoyed the short repeats both in stitches and rows.
