This cowl is shaped to fit around your neck snuggly, with its wonderful squishy pattern, and will keep out those draughts. By the use of a few extra buttons, it can be worn in different ways, either inside the neck of a coat or outside.

The cowl has a circumference of 52cm (20½in) around the top and 90cm (35½in) around the bottom and is 22cm (8¾in) high.

1 x 100g ball of Sirdar No 1 DK in each of 3 colours and 8 x 15mm buttons, (in the sample Yarn A = dark grey, Yarn B = mustard, Yarn C = cream).

You will also need 4mm (UK 8, US 6) knitting needles and a tapestry needle to weave in ends and sew on buttons.
