Pattern: Gloria Cowl (my own pattern <A href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/orinda5/2131384346/">here</A>)
Yarn: Zen Yarn Garden Harmony Semi-Solid "Rambling Rose"<BR /><DIV>
Needles: US 8</DIV>

Modifications on my original pattern:<BR /><DIV>
This time I started by casting on 85 stitches to make it a little cozier at the top.</DIV>

To stop the tendency to fold at the switch from seed stitch to plain stockinette, I made a more gradual transition. After the three rounds of seed stitch I did 
1 round of K2, P1
1 round of K3, P1
1 round of K4, P1<BR /><DIV>
1 round of K5, P1</DIV>
<BR /><DIV>
and then switched to plain stockinette stitch. I reversed the order for the opposite edge.</DIV>

I also increased by 2 stitches every 5(ish) rounds. <BR /><DIV>
I think if I were to do it again, I would increase twice that in the bottom half.</DIV>
