Okay – so there is a headband/ear-warmer that is really cute, but it retails at a price that is way out of my budget at almost $100. If you are in the same budget category as me, let’s knit one instead!

Size: 4.5”/11.5 cm wide and 17 (19, 21)”/43 (48.5, 53.5) cm long, to fit 18 (20, 22)”/46 (51, 56) cm head circumference.

Materials:
Loops & Thread Cozy Wool (50% Wool/50% Acrylic) – 90 yds/80m per 4.5 oz/127g skein – Super Bulky Yarn
1 skein (the larges sizes uses approx. 52 yds/48 m)

1 set of US #13 (9 mm) needles
Spare DPN or large cable needle or spare circular needle
Tapestry Needle

Gauge: 9 sts & 12 rows= 4 inches in stockinette stitch
Gauge is not critically important, if you work the cowl in a less bulky yarn, it will not be as wide. Just work additional rows to get the necessary length.
