It’s big, it’s warm, and it’s wooly. This chunky, oversized cowl can be tucked down neatly around your neck, or pulled up to cover your head, ears and face in the event of freezing winds. As an added bonus, it’s made in super bulky yarn with a stitch repeat that’s easily memorized so that you’ll be finished making it before you know it!
