This is a super quick and easy project, perfect for a beginner. The cowl has a knitted look to it, thanks to the alternating rows of hdc and hdc in back ridges.

The cowl can be made with a bigger hook for a looser texture.

It is also easily adjustable to personal tastes, because the number of embossed rows and the way they alternate with ordinary hdc rows can be changed to achieve a great variety of end results.
