Notes
To prevent weaving in an overwhelming amount of ends when finishing, knit some of the ends while working. Hold the tail with the working yarn and knit it along for several stitches. For a seamless appearance try a Provisional Cast On and graft the finished edges together: If you find the Provisional Cast On more than you wish to tackle, cast on using a long-tail cast on and seam the ends together when you're finished. Whatever method you choose, your cowl will be gorgeous! CO 46 using long-tail method with yarn A and knit in stockinette stitch with following color sequence. Start with column A from top down, move to top of column B and finally, move to column C to complete.
