 Construction

This cowl begins with a provisional cast on and is then worked in the round as one piece. After undoing the provisional cast on the two ends are joined by grafting both sets of live stitches. The length of this cowl is easily adjusted by working more or less repeats of the lace pattern or plain garter stitch section.
