This is a very versatile , beautiful cowl pattern. It only takes one skein to make it. The Black Forest yarn is variegated, so you won’t have to change colors. It will fit almost anyone from teens to adults. The yarn compliments the stitch pattern, blending lovely deep forest green with black. I think it looks almost like fur.
The gauge is really not an issue here, because of the J hook and the worsted weight yarn. It isn’t full of holes, though. It is warm in the winter, and in cooler climates could be worn from fall through cold spring mornings or evenings. Enjoy!
