Cowl of Skaro by Jessie McKitrick
(Tweedlebug's Garden: grammargrouse.blogspot.com/) The Cowl of Skaro is named for its Dalek-like appearance, though it was originally made for my daughter, who really just likes bobbles a lot. The cowl is knit in the round. Sizing: Small (Medium)(Large). Circumference: 16"/40cm (18"/46cm)(19"/48.5cm). The cowl is fairly stretchy (the medium stretches to a circumference of 30"/76.5cm), s0 unless a loose fit is desired, instead of knitting size large, simply add more repeats as needed.
