Rad Plaid Cowl
The cowl begins with a provisional cast on and is then knit as a tube in the round, twisted once and grafted together using the Kitchener stitch.The colorwork is a 3 color slipped stitch pattern using one color at a time. The pattern repeat is only 6 rounds so the pattern is easy to learn and do. The provisional cast-on and kitchener stitch will be taught in class.
