COWL

FINISHING

Block gently, straightening out any roll in I-cord.
Sew cast-on end to bound-off end to form a circle.
Beg with largest circle and form a stack of these circles in decreasing order of size.
To stabilize the stack for sewing, place one dpn down through the seams of the circles taking care to
keep seams lined up.
With yarn needle, sew firmly through the seams to join circles.
Working from inside of stack with crochet hook, work 2 lines of chain st from bottom to top of stack
into the seam of each circle.
Remove dpn.

This is my version knitting with the French Knitter.
