The Buena Vista scarf is knit on the bias, alternating strands of wool and mohair, with an occasional row of eyelets for interest. This pattern is easily adaptable for a cowl, simply begin with a provisional cast on, work to the desired length, and then join the ends with either Kitchener stitch or a three needle bind off.
