Then, working the body of the cowl, in the round, in a stitch pattern that you have selected from an stitchionary of 2-color tuck stitches. You will finish class with the beginning of your own designer cowl and a small stitch dictionary (created exclusively for this class by Nancy) to help you design even more cowls at home.
