How Can I Make this Chunky Cowl a Different Size?
This is a very easy and simple crochet chunky cowl pattern made out of a rectangle, so making it in a different size means starting with fewer chains and working fewer rows.
The important thing is to maintain the rectangle shape for the bandana construction
