Naima, a cowl is a scarf that is joined into a circle and placed around your neck. Usually closer to the back of your neck then down in a u shape down to your chest in those folds. The first time I saw a cowl it was on a sweater. It was quite the fashion at one time to where cowl neck sweaters usually in the Northern colder areas of the country. But now a days they are more like a scarf that goes around your neck but has those many folds from the fabric being wide. There is a pattern for a hood you can wear over your head then fold down and wear it as a cowl, that is how wide they are.   They are very wide and hand down in folds.  

Does this help?

Becky

Courtney,
I’m trying to imagine the finishing of this cowl and how much yarn I will need.
How many yards?  And would a dk yarn be too thin?
Not all scains are created the same.
I’m thinking that the 24 peg loom will not be big enough to fit over an adult’s head.  So is the cowl worked until it is long enough to join the cast on row and the bind off row to fit  over adult’s head?
Using a 31 peg loom would make a puffier cowl,?
Thanks,
Catherine
