Sewing the cowl:

Fold the cowl with the wrong side facing out. Insert the hook into the back loop of the stitch on one side and into the corresponding loop on the opposite side (where the initial chain was). Yarn over and pull through all three loops on the hook. Repeat this process across the edge to join. Cut the yarn and weave in the ends.
