Grautier Cowl or Scarf

Somewhere in our neighborhood lives a beautiful gray tomcat. He has adopted us as his second family and visits us several times a day to get some food and some love. He has done so for many years already, so of course he had to be included in this pattern collection. We named him Grautier (meaning gray animal, but also a word for a donkey). If Grautier were a human, I’d imagine him as an old-school gentleman with a hat and an elegant scarf, so I used the stitch pattern I designed for him for a scarf or, if you prefer, for a cowl. The stitch pattern is written out as well as charted. Many thanks to my tech editor Michelle Hazell and my testknitters FrazzledBecky and Yarn5894. Any remaining mistakes are mine.
