Materials:

Size H crochethook Pepperberry Knits Sport-Weight Cashmere Yarn (approximately 230 yards)

Pattern Notes:

In this pattern, we will be alternating front post and back post stitches to give us the single post crochet rib. Rounds are not joined unless otherwise stated. Make sure to mark the first stitch of your round and move your stitch marker up with each round.

Gauge:

In alternating front post and back post double crochets, 17 stitches across x 15 rows high = 4"x4". Because of the stretchiness of this stitch, gauge is not important.

Adjustments:

To make cowl longer, increase beginning chain by a multiple of 2. To make the cowl higher, repeat round 2 until you reach your desired height. Finished Measurements: Approximately 29" around x 6" high
