This is a slightly different pattern than my original Háls cowl which was published in Rib Magazine. There is a twist at both the front and back and it is shorter.

The Háls cowl used soft worsted spun Shetland Wool and an easily memorable Fair Isle repeat to create a warm and stylish piece to keep out the chill. The cowl is provisionally cast on and after knitting a half twist is placed in both sides of the cowl before it is grafted together.
