Looking for something that looks much more difficult than it is? Want to experiment without worrying about ruining your work? Then look no further. Made in the yarn and to the size of your choice this is the perfect cowl to take you through autumn, winter and spring.

With extra pattern for a matching wrist band free!

The idea was to create a hood that didn’t add too much bulk at the front of the cowl but could still be pulled right up over your head. It can be made short as shown or extra long to wrap around your neck a second time.

Made in a thinner or lighter weight yarn will be perfect for a child or for the warmer months. I’ve included several photos and a chart to help you work it up and modify where necessary. Depending on how you want to fasten it you may want a couple of gorgeous buttons or a shawl pin to finish it off. I would really recommend blocking this as it really brings the pattern out if you can. Gauge isn’t really important so, come on, play around!

And look out for my other patterns using the same stitch!
