“Do you also have a pattern for a coolishek in an adult size?” I got this message quite often these days.

Temperature below zero made me crochet one yesterday evening. And because I was so overjoyed with the result (so overjoyed that after midnight I sent messages of me in pajamas outfit and coolishek to my dearest friends), I would like to share this pattern with you.
