PDF format: Pattern is instant download, all patterns are final sale and non-refundable.

Finished measurements:

  • 43cm/ 17" in diameter

You will need:

  • Cushion/ pillow pad or fabric and polyfill to make your own - template included.
  • Needles: 4.5mm / US 7 
  • Darning needle if working the cowl flat, stitch marker if working the cowl in the round.
