The Bobcat Hills are a group of beautiful peaks, in Southern California, where you may hike and explore in your new cowl!

Designed specially for Elevate Fibers, this is a pattern for a cowl. Instructions are given to work a shorter cowl around the neck or a longer tube-like cowl.

Stitches are cast-on and joined to work in the round from the bottom-up (or top down, depending on how you look at it). The shorter cowl is worked with ribbed edging and the longer cowl is worked, then edges are sewn together creating a long tube. (with given yarn amounts - you may work 2 shorter cowls, reversing colours, or 1 long cowl)
