I didn’t love this pattern though I hoped to. It’s quite easy and pleasant to knit but it creates a finished product that is too wide and too squat, IMO. If I were to make this again, and I’d prob only do so as a stashbuster, I’d repeat one of the charts again.

Also, I actually removed one repeat of 16 stiches or this would be inches wider still. Unless you’re a seriously tight knitter, remove a repeat or, if knit as is, you’ll have a very wide, but not adequately deep (to be proportional), cowl.
