PATTERN AND SIZING NOTES

• This cowl is made with DC rows/rounds on the top and bottom (2 rounds) and the body of the cowl is made using the Half Double Crochet and Skipped Stitches (like Moss/Granite/Linen stitch only using HDC instead of SC) for a total of 30 rows/rounds
• Other than the first joined round and the last joined round, the remainder of the cowl is made in a continuous spiral
• The CH 3’s in the first joined round and the last joined round (which form the edging of the top and bottom) count as a stitch
• Keep the tension on your foundation chain a tiny bit more loose than usual since you’re working with a larger than normal hook for this yarn weight (4wt)
• While we are counting “rounds” in this cowl, the number I give is more of a suggestion, since you’re more working to the measurement – so as long as you’re happy with the height of the cowl and you’ve completed a round lining up with your foundation tail at the bottom, you can complete the final joined round edging
• This cowl is completely versatile and can be made longer or wider to accommodate your tastes – simply start with a longer foundation chain (as long as it is an even number) to increase width or add more rounds to increase length
• Stitch count for each round will be indicated in parentheses ( ) at the end of the round
