Notes from the Designer:

This hooded cowl wraps you in warmth with an attached looped scarf. Offsetting 1 x 1 ribbing every four rows creates a richly textured fabric with minimal effort. This beginner-friendly wearable is worked all in one piece with just two seams to sew. The cowl is long enough to loop it twice around your neck for days when you need extra warmth.
