Cowl
A cowl is a loop, long or short, that can be worn for warmth in the cold weather or just for style. It is also called an infinity scarf. This is a fun and simple project, but it will take a bit longer than the Little Hat and Wrap Bracelet.

This pattern has something new: size options. To read the pattern correctly, first you should decide if you want to make a small or large cowl. The number for the small-size directions will always be written first. The number for the large-size directions will always be written second, in parentheses. Make sure to follow the correct set of instructions for the size you are making.
