This cowl uses a simple two row repeat to make a textured fabric. It has a matching headband and beanie available. The pattern works up quickly and is simple enough for beginners. Size 5 bulky yarn keeps it feeling warm, and using an 8mm hook makes the stitches tight to keep the air off your neck. This pattern has instructions for child size and adult size, but it is simple to add or subtract stitches to suit your needs for a custom fit.
