Have not yet tried this pattern, but reading through it seems fairly clear - think it would make an interesting and unique cowl and have moved it into my top five pending projects ... the only question I have revolves around changes for sizes if one wants to knit it as a shrug as I am not taken with shrugs anyway, it doesn't matter to me but for others it coulld be a problem

this pattern could definitely benefit from clearer instructions and it's imperative to have some sort of graphic that show how it works. Reading the instructions it appears that you work the front cabled panel and then start working the body up to down until you reach the desired circumfrence is obtained and then finish by attaching to the other side of the front panel.

There are 3 sizes recommended, but I don't see a recommended number of stitches to cast on and the pattern you used for the main cowl. Beautiful.

I'm having trouble understanding what I'm supposed to do with the dropped stitches once they are pulled out to row 58. Also, is there a certain way to pull them out or just lightly oil until route 58? Thanks for your help.

Is there a mistake in the pattern, it doesn't seem to show St stiches after the cable insert but some kind of ribbing with yo's.
