Simplicity is a very simple ribbed cowl pattern, crocheted flat and seamed at the end (either with slip stitches or sewn).

One size, make it as big as your heart wishes (or yarn allows)!

Gauge isn’t as important as consistency: the ribbed pattern will show up any irregularities in tension.

I used one ball for each of the two cowls pictured in the pattern - both James C Brett Marble Chunky but one of them is the Glamour version with a bit of sparkle.
