Hence the creation of this Riverbend Drawstring Cowl. Depending on your gauge and tension, your left over yarn may or may not be enough for the cowl. So it is best to have another skein of Red Heart Unforgettable available, as a standby. Mine is in colorway Sugarcane.
At first the design was for a standard cowl but it morphed into the current drawstring design. I still kept the same knit cabling design on the main body of the cowl, so as to match the Riverbend Beanie. However, I was left with enough yarn to make a cord long enough to go around the top of the cowl. For the cord, I just used a crochet hook to make chains. If you have long enough yarn left, you can choose to make any type of cord that you prefer.
