This really convenient convertible pattern is a cowl that can be worn several ways, and when you cinch the drawstring it’s a hat that can be a slouch or even a messy bun hat if you want. The pattern is written for 2 sizes in both Sport and DK weight. This is a very quick and fun knit that offers so many possibilities!
