The cowl is worked in a tube which joins the end to the beginning. The result is a plush, cozy cowl with no ends to weave in as they are all trapped inside the tube. The pattern includes directions for one cowl with three different stitch pattern options. The cowl is worked on the bias in stranded or Fair Isle patterns.

The cowl is sized to be worn close to the neck, or can be used as a headband. Each stitch motif uses 6-7 different colors, one ball of each color.
