About
The Westwood Cowl is a worsted weight cowl comprised of the basketweave stitch that can be tucked into your coat to protect against the cold winter winds. This pattern is worked in joined, turned rounds, eliminating any need for seaming! Instructions are also included on how to adjust your cowl size and even how to use other yarn weights. You can make 4 Westwood Cowls with 1 skein of Pound of Love!
