From the pattern notes:

“This pattern is designed to finesse our intermediate knitting skills while creating a fun and funky cowl or hat. By the time this project is completed, the knitter will be well-practiced in multiple varieties of increases and decreases, working in the round and creating textured patterns involving simple lace and seed stitch. This pattern can be easily adjusted as well; with a little math, it can be made larger or smaller, or completed with a different weight of yarn.”

This pattern can be made smaller or larger by adjusting the amount of stitches cast on in multiples of 4 or knit in a different weight of yarn.
