I also tend to work with a slightly looser tension in the round vs. flat so I kept with the same needle size, however you can go up a needle size if the cowl neck seem to be working up to snug. Bind off all stitches as follows: *k2togtbl (knit 2 together through the back loop), place the stitch from the right needle to the left needle, repeat from * all around.
