Other Details: This cowl is worked in the round from the bottom edge, decreasing to form a flared base to fit around the shoulders. The cowl is continued until you either run out of yarn or the desired length is reached. Instructions are given for two sizes – 18 inches unpinned and 24 inches unpinned. For each of these target circumferences, use the cast-on number given for your gauge in the table. If your gauge does not precisely match the gauge in the table, adjustments to the final circumference can be made during blocking.

This pattern is included in Twist & Knit: A Dozen Knitted Patterns for Handspun, Hand-dyed and One-of-a-kind Yarns.
