This cowl has been made for a good friend’s new “lawful” daughter (as she weds her son) :)
I made it in a smaller size and then thought that the longer length would be nicer, so went double :)
An easy repeat pattern that’s made seamlessly, using basic sts.
This tested pattern is written in U.S terminology, has a chart as well as a photo tutorial.
