I was at the dogpark...

...and it was cold. So, I used the cowl/circle scarf to cover my bald head. It worked, mostly. As you can see, though, it's about five (5) inches too short to actually cover my head and neck.

Cowl/Circle Scarf/Thing

So, I'd been seeing a lot of people around here (Greenville) wearing these things and I, unfortunately, had no idea what they were, exactly. Some sort of scarf thingy.

(insert google search here)

I found out that they were called cowls.

(insert another google search)

And I found several patterns.

It ended up being much larger than what it's pictured because I chose to do my own thing and venture away from the pattern. I got many, many, many comments about it (mostly, "that's interesting"). I'm considering adding a few buttons because it's really big and awkward and I'm not immediately sure how to wear it. I may just have to take out a few rows...which I absolutely hate doing.
