Kuunteleva metsä is worked in the round and the ends of the cowl are sewn together. You can work the cowl in different yarn weights, just check the length and adjust when needed. I recommend using a yarn that is not scratchy, so it will feel nice against the skin. You can wrap the 47” / 120 cm cowl twice around the neck.
