   Ideas for improving/altering this pattern:
   
   - Spread the decreases in ROW 8 out over two rows (7&8 or 8 & 9) - I got a wee bit carried away with my decreases there, so there’s quite a prominent decrease - see photo of cowl laid out on floor - can’t tell when you’re wearing it though!
   
   - Don’t join the rounds, work in one continuous spiral to avoid any hint of a seam.
   
   - Go crazy! Change the length, width, stitch, hook size, yarn weight, shape, whatever!!!
