Isela, I love the Cowl pattern but I thinks the bind off is an error. It says to use the “gathered removal method”. Is that correct?
Sue, thank you. Yes, it should say basic bind off method. I have fixed it.
I’d love to see how this looks on! Any pics of someone wearing it?
All the pictures of the cowl are without a model.
Still showing incorrect bind off, Bind off with gather removal method.it should say basic bind off method
Kathy, refresh your browser. Note: there is a hat pattern at the end of the pattern that does require a gather removal method.
