This cowl is knit in the round with the ends grafted together to create a seamless finish that also hides the floats and creates a double thickness.

It begins with a provisional cast-on such as a crochet cast-on method with waste yarn. The provisional cast-on in waste yarn is carefully undone to place the live stitches onto a second set of needles for grafting using the Kitchener stitch method.

The stranded colorwork is worked in stripes of different chart patterns.
