This cowl looks wonderful! Can it be pulled up into a hood?
Thank you,
Margaret
It can’t be pulled into a hood, but you can put it on inside-out with the point in front and then pull it over your face and onto your head like a kerchief. I wear it that way sometimes when my head is colder than my neck. :)
If you wanted to work a really wide version (so maybe 40 or 48 stitches) and then increase to double the number of stitches after knitting about 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) of the length, then decrease back down to the original number when you are 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) from the end, that would probably make it more hood-like.
