Cozy Pup Bandana Cowl

I designed this little cowl for my mini dachshund pup in celebration of her half (6-month) birthday. And in this spirit, I offer it as a gift to you and yours. It's quick, fun, and super cute. I hope you and your little (or big) pup love it as much as we do! **CONSTRUCTION** This cowl is worked flat in one piece lengthwise, allowing you to tailor the circumference to your pup. **SIZES** Short (Tall) **FINISHED MEASUREMENTS** Approx. 3 ⅜ inches/8.5 cm (5 ⅛ inches/13 cm) long and 9 ½ inches/24 cm (9 ½ inches/24 cm) in circumference. The final circumference can be modified to meet your pup's measurements. For a cowl with a wider or narrower neck circumference, adjust the number of repeats completed as described in the pattern; yardage requirements will change accordingly. Size tall is recommended for bigger pups. **YARN** Yak by Lang Yarns (70% Merino, 30% Yak, 131 yds/120 m per 50 gms) shown in colorway 60. Approx. 20 yards/18 meters (35 yards/32 meters) of Yak or worsted weight yarn. **NEEDLES** One pair of straight needles or one 24 inch/60 cm 
circular needle, US 7/4.5 mm or size needed to obtain gauge listed. **GAUGE** Approx. 9.5 stitches and 16 rows in 2 inches/5 cm in garter stitch. **OTHER MATERIALS** Crochet hook, waste yarn, tapestry needle, stitch marker **Note.** Please always keep a watchful eye on pets wearing handknits. **CONNECT** I’d love it if you would share your project(s) on Instagram: #CozyPupCowl
