A soft and elegant cowl worked in the round bottom-up with the possibility to adjust the length of the brioche that does not curl under your coat but protects the torso from wind and cold as a collar and also the length of the rib that warms the neck is easy to adjust so it fits perfectly.
The work starts with brioche and afterward repeats of a small eyelet pattern are worked that transcend into rib. Work in rib to bind off.

Gauge:
10cm x 10cm/4” x 4”: 20 sts over 28 rnds in 1x1 rib pattern on needle 4.0mm/US 6, or the size needed to obtain gauge after blocking.

Measurement:
Circumference at rib: 50cm/19.75”
Approx total length: 24cm/9.5”
Note! The length of the cowl is/can be worked as desired. The cowl can be worked wider with an extra repeat of Brioche pattern of 12 sts or fewer repeats for a smaller cowl.

Yarn:
Please keep in mind that yardage is an estimate
