The cowl is 56” in circumference NOT diameter.

If you downloaded this pattern before 10:15 on March 13, please note that in Row 39, there is an extra yarn over at the beginning of the row. This was an error. This row is the same as all the other rows with yarn overs in them. It was caught by a wonderful Raveler before it had been up five minutes. I was able to get the correction up almost immediately.
