Forest Walk Cowl

CONSTRUCTION
This cowl is worked in the round from the bottom up. It starts with a ribbing section made on a larger needle to give the cowl a more generous shape at the bottom. The pattern is then worked from the chart or written instructions. Towards the top of the cowl there are two rounds of decreases that shape the cowl, which is then finished with a ribbing section worked on the main needle to give a snug fit.
