The cowl is worked in the round. Circumference of the one in the picture is 110 cm. The size can easily be adjusted. I used a sport weight sock yarn, about 240 meters (260 yards) of the main colour plus a small leftover, (7 meters) of the contrast colour.The pattern should work for other yarn weights as well. Please note that yardage may vary when making it in another size or when using a different yarn.
The English version of the pattern uses American crochet terms.
