Thick, soft cowls are the perfect cure for the winter weather blahs, but sometimes they are a pain to put on without messing up your hair! This one is stitched flat, then fastens with buttons. Button up some or all, for different looks as well as temperature control!

A quick way to get shaping in any piece without having to figure out increasing and decreasing is to step your hook size up or down in sequence.
