A swatch is not required for this project, but differences in tension will affect the final size and yarn consumption.
Construction:
The cowl is worked crosswise, in rounds. The stitches are cast-on using Judy’s Magic Cast-On method. Then, the colorwork pattern is worked until the desired length is achieved. Finally, the cast-on stitches are sewn to the stitches from the last round using the Kitchener Stitch.
