“Westside Cowl” the cowl for men - and women!

Far west - where waves thunder against the rocks, the Atlantic is rough and the wind blows in fierce gusts - a warm cowl is indispensable!

The Half-Brioche-Pattern Fisherman’s Rib provides a nice structure and a pleasantly warming volume! A double layered cuff forms the upper and lower edge, through the upper cuff can also be pulled a knitted I-Cord, so you can easily regulate the width to your needs. A rather small, sporty and not such voluminous cowl, which can be adjusted in width and hight and which is knitted in no time!

The cowl is knitted on a circular needle in rounds bottom up. The pattern needs some concentration first, but with 4 rounds that always repeat, you will surely have internalized it soon. Pattern is both – charted and written.
