COWL

one size fits most:

circumference 56 cm = 22’’; stretchable to 60 cm = 23.6’’ all around

length from top to bottom 19 cm = 7.1’’

This project is worked in the round.

With a slightly bigger hook (2.5 mm in the sample shown) and yarn A chain 156, the loop on the hook does not count. The length of this chain should be big enough to go over your head, the number of chains is a multiple of 6. Join last st with slip st into a ring, be sure not to twist the foundation chain. Continue working with hook you obtained gauge.

Round 2 (WS; replace 1^st hdc with 2 ch): *1 hdc in FL of 26 sts, 1 dc in FL of next 26 sts*, repeat from * around (= 156 sts), finish with slip st in 2^nd ch in the beginning of the Round, turn.

Rounds 4 and 6 (WS): 2 turning ch (count as 1^st hdc), 1 hdc in FL of each st (= 156 hdc), finish with slip st in 2^nd ch in the beginning of the Round, turn.
