I worked it up in a bulky white yarn, I believe by Sensations. I'm not 100% on that and quite frankly, I've thrown the label away.
The cowl itself was crocheted on a size M hook and took less than one hour to complete. Another "one" milestone is that it took less than one skein. I attached two large black buttons for contrast and am very pleased with the outcome.
I am thinking of writing the pattern up and posting it here for free, even though it is simple.
The hat is technically a match to the cowl although I think the hat needs some matching black buttons to really make them match. What do you think?

Very nice! I've been toying with the idea of making me a cowl and a friend is thinking about having me make one for her dil for Christmas. I'm also thinking of making one for a friend for Christmas. I've yet to complete anything from my year of projects but I've been working so much on other things I think it doesn't matter. Have a great day!
Hi!
I like them together. I agree the hat needs some buttons. Maybe one big one to the side. Have a great day!

I love them both! they definitely look like a matching pair =)
I love your projects...I really need to start crocheting because I am seeing way too many sassy fun projects.
I agree. Put on the buttons!
The cowl looks great. Chunky yarn and big hooks are great for quick cowl projects that are so cozy at this time of year!
Its definitely cozy :) I don't even remember why I originally bought the yarn, but I do know that it is very nice and soft and WARM!
I did not sell the cowl at today's craft fair so I do think I'm going to put the buttons on and sell it as a pair :)
Oh it is SO hard to not do something when you see so many fun projects. My Rav queue is insane. LOL
I'll be sewing the buttons on the hat later. Just some small matching black buttons (not functional) - I think they'll look great as a pair :)
Cowls are great presents - you should definitely do it :) (and take pictures and put them on your blog hehehe). I have noticed that I am doing that too - I'm busy doing all these fun projects I am seeing and not putting much into my list hehehe glad I made a smaller list :P
Lovely! I love the cowl - but then I'm a total sucker for lovely buttons on knitware! :)
