Fidra Cowl

This is a cowl version of my popular [Fidra][1] hat pattern. There are two sizes of cowl two choose from. The larger cowl is shaped to get narrower at the top and the smaller cowl is straight with no shaping (and also not as wide). It should be possible to get both cowls out of 2 balls of Quarry yarn (if in the same color). Charted and written instructions are provided.
