Giant Cowl Pattern

cowl4

Approximately 600 yards bulky weight yarn doubled up. I used Lion Brand Nature’s Choice Organic Cotton.
(Note this is an educated guess. I’d have extra on hand. Please e-mail me to tell me how much you used!)

US size 9 needles

Gauge is unimportant, but the resulting fabric should be fairly stiff. Choose yarn and needles based on how stiff you want the finished cowl to be.

You can add or subtract stitches or rows very easily to your desired width or length.
