All the style of a shawlette without the fuss of trying to keep it around your neck! This easy to wear cowl is designed to mimic the look of a shawl, casually worn as a scarf. The pattern starts out worked flat like a top-down shawl and is then joined and worked in the round to the bottom edge. I call these hybrid patterns, “cowlettes.”
Pattern is provided in English and Spanish and includes charts and written directions for four gauges to accommodate fingering - super bulky weight yarns. A video tutorial is provided to walk you through all the tricky bits of the pattern.
Pattern also includes instructions on adapting the cowlette in worsted weight for your pet!

GAUGE
