August 20, 2012: New pdf update!
Pattern was updated to give instructions on how to widen your cowl.

This is an easy one-piece grafted (or seamed) construction that’s knitted flat lengthwise. Instructions to do kitchener stitch for ribbing is included. The sideways rib makes it wonderfully stretchy and adds some cushiness. Make it wider for more coverage if you like, the pattern tells you how!

You can wear this cowl pulled up over your head as pictured, bunched up around your neck, or fold in half lengthwise for a double-thick radial ring of warmth. Pull up the front to protect your lower face from that cold wind!

Note: This cowl is knitted using one strand of each yarn held together throughout.
Alternative yarns: Chunky weight -1 strand
