Instructions are written for a cowl and fingerless gloves that are worked in the round.  The cowl is shaped slightly at the top.  Charts are provided on the last page.   Aran weight or heavy worsted yarn is knit at a tight gauge to make this a very cozy cowl.  For a cowl with more drape, it is recommended to go up a needle size.  Additional yardage may be required.
