Introduction:
This is a snug cowl, designed to be worn close fitting to keep out draughts and winter chills. It’s a practical “draught excluder” which keeps you cosy without adding bulk. The size is easily adjustable and with just a single round repeat you’ll soon memorise the stitch. After setting up, each round is worked into chain spaces, so it is easy to spot where to put your hook. This is a perfect portable or TV project for a beginner who has mastered basic stitches.
