Cowl measures 9" (23 cm) wide and 67" (170 cm) long before seaming.
NOTES
Cowl fabric is completely reversible. Cowl is crocheted from the bottom up before being twisted and seamed with the twist in place to create a “mobius” loop cowl. Turning chain (ch 1) counts as a single crochet in this pattern.
