This is a quick knit. Easily done in a day.
I designed this with my sister in mind who is a petite person. I wanted a cowl that would not overwhelm her small stature.

I wrote the pattern with 80 stitches cast on. That has been too large for very small people. You can cast on 74 if you choose. Always bear in mind that the garment needs to go over your head.

You can cast on more stitches if you want. Increasing by 2’s.

Happy knitting!
