Pattern Notes:
- Super bulky weight yarn comes in lots of colors and styles. Try a glitter or metallic for some sparkle or to make it extra cozy try a plushy blanket yarn too!

Instructions:
- Ch 46 (there is no special stitch count for this cowl, if you need to change the circumference, you can do any number of chains you like!)
- Join with a slip stitch in the furthest chain from the hook being careful not to twist. This will create a large ring and the bottom edge of the cowl.
- Round 1: Chain three, then work a dc into the first chain and in each chain around. Join with a slip stitch in the topmost chain (third chain up) to close the round.
- Rows 2: Chain three (counts as a dc), then work a dc into the next stitch and in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch in the topmost chain (third chain up) to close the round.
- Repeat round 2 for a total of 7 rounds for the one pictured or as tall as you like! The cowl pictured is about 7 inches tall and I used almost every last bit of the yarn from my skein.
Finishing:
- Weave in any ends and your cowl is ready to wear!
