Half Body Cowl

Cosy cowl with extra warmth and style, thanks to the wrap around half-body design. Can be worn with left or right side open. 

As a guide, the sizes are designed to fit:

S (UK 8-10 or 32-34" chest), M (UK 10-12 or 34-36" chest) and L (UK 12-14 or 36-38" chest).

However, the open side (and the stretchy nature of fabric) will accommodate several inches larger than quoted.

YOU WILL NEED 700 (800, 900) m chunky yarn, 6.00 mm hook, 3 stitch markers (optional) and a needle for neatening the ends.
