Step 1

Finished Height: About 9 in. (23 cm)
 
MATERIALS
LION BRAND® VANNA'S CHOICE® (Art. #860)
#172 Kelly Green 2 balls

NOTES
  1. Cowl is worked in one piece in the round.
  2. The stitch pattern on the Cowl makes little ‘checks’. After working a few rounds, try working without the pattern – by looking to see which stitch you should do next! 
Step 2
