I love the fun checkerboard patterning that really highlights using higher contrast colors together. This cowl is worked flat on the bias, and then seamed. **SIZES** 1 (2, 3, 4) Child (Teen, Adult Small, Adult Large) *Shown in the Adult Small size.* **FINISHED MEASUREMENTS** Circumference - 18.75 (21.5, 24, 26.5)”/47.5 (54.5, 61, 67.5) cm Back Neck Depth - 6 (7.25, 8.5, 9.75)”/15 (18.5, 21.5, 25) cm **YARN REQUIREMENTS** *These are just approximations.
