Basic pattern of the cowl
The two bands at the top look like they are made up of wool crocheted or knitted around something. For 'stuffing' I cup up some old tights and stretched them out a little to make them thinner.
Make sure the circle that was cut from the top fits around your shoulders. Now start crocheting all the way around. tutorial how to crochet around something
now take the longer part and fit it around the ring (make sure it's slightly larger). Start connecting it to the other ring by using the same stitch as earlier but also pulling the thread through the stitches on the first ring. Keep a small section (about 15 cm) unconnected to the upper ring and sew the right end of the band to a section of the other as show. Continue crocheting until the entire band is covered.
Now start going around the entire bottom of what you have now with a simple stitch. Depending on the size of the stitches, continue until it is about 10-15 cm all around. Now start another band on the front right that goes around and connects to the back. Make it about 15-20 cm wide.
Now make another separate piece that is slightly bigger than the gap on the front and sew it behind. I also embroidered another thinner band under the two bigger ones with the same wool.
Yay, it's done!
