Notes
1. Cowl is worked in joined rounds with right side always facing. Do not turn at the beginning of rounds.
2. The cowl is worked in a lacy ripple pattern of 5-dc “peaks” and dc5tog “valleys”. The peaks of each row are worked into the center dc of the 5-dc peaks of the previous row, and the valleys are worked centered over the dc5tog valleys of the previous row.
3. The Cowl can be worked by reading the written instructions or stitch diagram.
