My husband requested a simple cowl to wear while he rides his motorcycle. Taking his requests, I came up with this very easy and fast knit! It is perfect for a last-minute gift. The instructions below are for a longer cowl that is to be worn doubled over - as in the photos. But you could take this idea and make it larger or smaller depending on how you would like for it to fit.
