Fellow raveler pinmad, Alicia in Mexico, had a smart modification, which I used as well. She cast on 7 and worked a yo after each stitch, then dropped the yo in the next row. This results in a cowl that has a nice drape.

This is a very easy, quick project. The colors are very pretty. This Aran color is a very light peach.

I cast on 6 for a little more length while still having a luxurious width.
