    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?

    1. Sue, thank you. Yes, it should say basic bind off method. I have fixed it.

  2. I’d love to see how this looks on! Any pics of someone wearing it?

    1. All the pictures of the cowl are without a model.

  3. Still showing incorrect bind off, Bind off with gather removal method.it should say basic bind off method

    1. Kathy, refresh your browser. Note: there is a hat pattern at the end of the pattern that does require a gather removal method.
