COOL STRIPES COWL
NOTES:
1.
Read instructions through before beginning.
2.
For the M1, make one I did it two ways, a yarn over and this one: http://www.lionbrand.com/how-to-knit-increasing-between You choose which one you prefer. The yarn over makes a bit larger hole. I like the hole as a decorative element.

The first picture is Red Heart Super Saver color Cool Stripe. Second picture is RHSS Monet.

knit. My preference was the knit. Use whichever you like best.
