Cassandra Couwy
Pattern Notes
The Cassandra Cowl is worked in the round. Choose whichever method of knitting in the round that is comfortable to you. Use Scrap yarn for the provisional CO. There is no need to weave in ends when you change colors for the stripes. To change colors, tie the new yarn color to the working yarn snugly behind your last worked st. Start knitting with the new yarn. Check your gauge. If not, you run the risk of not having enough yarn to complete the rnds. Kitchener stitch BO worked in the round. MC = your full size skein of yarn. CCa is your first mini skein. CCb is your next mini skein. CCc is your last mini skein.
