Tessera Cowl is worked flat sideways, starting with stitches in a provisional cast on row, to be grafted during finishing to the last row stitches.
Rows of Eyelet Rib Stitch plus rows of Linen Stitch are the stitch repeat pattern consistent throughout the cowl. The Chart shows this stitch sequence in the 16 Row repeat, with the addition of color placement. The optional i-cord is woven through the eyelets at the beginning and end join, to cinch up the cowl as desired.
