Once your cowl is long enough, be sure to bind off loosely in the k4, p2 pattern after you complete Round 4.  This will ensure that the finished edge of your cowl is soft and stretchy enough to fit over someone's head.

Weave in ends on the wrong side.   

For further help with any of the techniques used in this pattern, I highly recommend checking out the helpful videos at www.knittinghelp.com.

Enjoy! -- Joelle
