Braided & Ribbed 2-in-1 Cowl

Project Skill Level – Advanced Beginner

This Pattern Uses US & [UK Terms]

On the heels of creating my version of the Braided & Ribbed 2-in-1 Beanie, I decided to create the matching cowl because I love a matching set … LOL!

This Cowl is what I called a ‘transitional’ piece as it is ideal for wearing in between seasons, or on those cool summer nights when you want a little added warmth. I am always cold, so it seems perfectly normal to have a cowl or hat on hand at any given time.

I used approximately 115 yards [105 meters] of Hayfield Bonus Aran w/Wool in the Maize colourway.
