The 30 Rising Suns Cowl looks like a shawl when worn. It will not fall off your shoulders the way a shawl does, so you don’t have to keep fussing with it or use a shawl pin to keep it on.

The last segment features a few repeats of a garter-striped pattern that adds an interesting texture and clean lines. Finishing the cowl is quick and easy with a slim 2-stitch i-cord bind-off.

The 30 Rising Suns Cowl is worked flat from the bottom up. The cowl begins with a few stitches that give the tip a gentle curve. Two stitches are added on every right side row. Once the cowl width is reached, you’ll have a choice to continue working flat and seaming the back neck edge or finishing the cowl in the round.
