Long Version: 54” (135 cm) in circumference, 6.5” (16 cm) wide excluding fringe

Yarn Substitution
This pattern is a fantastic stash buster! Each stripe uses slightly less than the full 20g mini skein, so you can use minis, leftovers from previous projects, etc. The short cowl uses 10 colors, the long cowl uses 20. The border requires 50 (100) g for the border.
