What is a monk’s cowl?
cowl, hooded cloak worn by monks, usually the same colour as the habit of the order. Originally a common outer garment worn by both men and women, it was prescribed by St. Benedict for the monks of his order (c. 530).
Why is it called cowl?
It comes from the Middle English coule, which derives from the Late Latin cuculla, meaning “monk’s hood.” This is a variant of the Latin cucullus, simply meaning “hood.” Monks have known for wearing hooded robes for a long time, and the association between monks and their cowls continues today.

How wide should a neck warmer be?

How do you knit a simple snood?
If you don’t have a set of circular needles, cast on 51 stitches and work in K1, P1 until you reach your desired height. Leave enough wool to cast off and stitch the ends together. Use your wool needle to join the short ends and form a tube. Weave in the ends, and you have a snood!
