Berkshires Cowl
Why make another cowl? To find out how the horizontal stripes on the inside become vertical stripes on the outside!  Plus, the Pattern Tailor allows you to customize Berkshires Cowl to your measurements and your yarn. The Pattern Tailor will also give you an estimated amount of yarn needed for your project based on your swatch, if you provide the optional information from the swatch.

Pre-Berkshires Cowl Access
For posterity, this is the Langley Academy Building in Slough, UK, built 2004 to 2008, by Foster + Partners.  I love how the vertical and horizontals played with each other; the play between horizontal and vertical is evident in Slough stitch.
