GAUGE:
14 sts = about 4 in. (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS) with C. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you less stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

NOTES:
1. Cowl in knit as a long strip, then ends are seamed together to form Cowl.
2. Cowl is worked in St st (k on RS, p on WS). Due to the nature of St st, edges of Cowl will roll.
