A sibling pattern to the Midnight hat, the Midnight cowl is a big soft hug around your neck that keeps you engaged while knitting and beautifully warm when finished.

PATTERN NOTES:

The cowl is worked as a long tube starting from a provisional cast on, and grafted together at the end. It consists of two large colorwork sections. In each section, bands of large decorative motifs are separated by simple colorwork stripes. The MC and CC colors are switched in the second colorwork section, resulting in a study in contrasts.

The pattern includes a table to help keep track of the order for working the charts.
