With some very simple knitting-and a little fussy finishing-you'll have a double layer cowl that's totally seamless, utterly reversible, and very versatile. The two-color version can be worn either color out, or shifted half way for bold color blocking. Small cowl: Approx. 24" / 61cm around x 5½" / 14cm deep, after grafting or seaming. Large cowl: Approx. 28" / 71cm around x 9" / 23cm deep, after grafting or seaming. Headband: Approx. 4" / 10cm wide x 17" / 43 cm around, after knotting and grafting, before stretching.

Small Cowl: Approx. 229 yds / 210m of a lace-weight mohair. Large Cowl: Approx. 460 yds / 420m of a lace-weight mohair. Headband: Approx. 150 yds / 137m of a lace-weight yarn.
I loved making this shawl, and I enjoyed the process of choosing colors and row counts. I did use Jul Designs fasteners rather than stitching the shoulder seam. I also made my project a little larger by about 10 inches. The big surprise was my 30 year old niece modeling it at Easter when we all got together and then styling it on my 85 year old mother. It also looks great on my taller sister, but I think it looks best on ME!
