This is probably an easy question for most of you, but I am working on a pattern by Mccall's (6214).  It is a cowl and simple and straightforward, but it starts out  by saying to stitch at center back.  On the pattern there are markings that say center back.  This cowl is for a large size, but if I stitch at the place where it says center back, it would make this cowl small.  I don't know how to proceed because of this.  I must be misinterpreting something, I am sure.  Any insight would be appreciated.  Thanks

Re: Sewing Cowal

Dear Langles,

It might be that you need to sew the cowal using a knitted fabric instead of a woven fabric. Knitted fabric is able to stretch and allow your head to pass trough it. 

Please let me know if this helps.

Happy sewing,

Nehzat
