Does it get any cuter than this?? This cowl/hood is intended to fit very loosely around the face, so is considered a child size. However, it easily fits an adult head, just more closely around the face (it's still fairly loose around my own face, even as an adult, but my head is rather small). The yarn is a very soft chunky weight acrylic, so is not only very thick and warm, but can be machine washed and dried.
