This cowl was inspired by my child’s love of the nighttime sky and their love of animals, especially hedgehogs.

I have listed two different yarn weights for this pattern so both children and adults can enjoy it. Worsted weight being more for an adult size cowl or a more spacious cowl for a child and a DK weight being for a child size cowl.

Needles:
DK Weight
· 26” circular needles in size US 3 (3.25 mm) for ribbing
· 26” circular needles in size US 5 (3.75mm) for main pattern
Worsted Weight
· 26” circular needles in size US 5 (3.75mm) for ribbing
· 26” circular needles in size US 7 (4.5mm) for main
pattern

needle size or adjust to obtain the correct gauge.
