The new Seema cowl is knitted in the round with two yarns/colors from the top down.
A one by one rib pattern around the neckline starts out the knit, it then moves into a raised stitch motif and from there the cowl grows in three consecutive rounds. A shifting eyelet pattern makes up the lower part of the cowl before the bottom edge, done with color two.
The blocked measurements are 79” around the bottom edge, the neckline is 24” around and the height is 14”.
The pattern is fully written and also includes a chart.
