This pattern uses soft bulky yarn to make a squishy comfy cowl that can be crocheted quickly and has a striking look. Perfect for solid and variegated yarns, but would look amazing with handspun too.
Gauge isn’t super important but make sure you’re making the stitches loose and flexible. You can adjust the width of the pattern by repeating rows until the width is where you want it, or only wrapping 2x instead of 3x.
