Using the Haslock Cowl Kit is easy. First, take out the pattern postcard and scan the download code to get the knitting pattern. Then, pick your desired yarn colors. Start knitting following the pattern step - by - step. Remember to keep your stitches even for a better look. When you're done knitting, you can use a yarn needle to weave in the loose ends. As for maintenance, hand - wash the cowl in cool water with mild detergent. Gently squeeze out the water and lay it flat to dry. Avoid hanging it as it may stretch the cowl. This will keep your Haslock Cowl looking great for a long time.
