A tight, warm cowl for those snowy winter days when you just want to curl up inside and read a book…. but unfortunately real life calls and you have to venture outside into the cold.

Knit this colorful hat – based on BB8 from Star Wars: The Force Awakens – to let everyone know that you love all Star Wars fans, regardless of how many movies they’ve seen or books they’ve read. If you loved BB-8 as much as I did, you’ll love this hat.

Knit up this delightfully quick cowl in one night. Perfect for that last minute holiday gift or for knitting during a long movie (mine was cast on, knit, cast off, and sew up during The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey).

This is great for that bulky yarn that you impulse bought and now don’t know what to do with (fess up, we’ve all done it!). Knit loose and on large needles for a fast and stretchy cowl that is very variable. Drape once around your neck for a simple and warm look, or wrap twice and around your head for a cowl with a hood.

Though you can use whatever color pattern you like, I’ve designed this with the colors of the Asexual Pride Flag in mind. Its a simple scarf, using a pattern similar to basketweave stitch, knit holding two strands together.
