The squishy and comfortable Growl Cowl is knitted flat in one piece, sideways, and will be loved by the women and the men in your life. You’ll love it too!

This is an easy knit and instructions are given for 3 sizes -- 2 in DK, 1 in worsted weight), which gives you room to play with more sizes and yardages.
