The Riyadh pattern includes instructions for both a cowl and an adult sized hat. The cowl has a small and larger size, one using worsted weight yarn, the other using fingering weight yarn. The cowl is knit in the round, so there is no grafting!

The hat fits a taller head, but if you have a smaller head like me, you can remove 10 rows of ribbing before you start the colourwork chart. The hat is knit in the round from the bottom up using worsted weight yarn.
