Frankenstein Cowl For Pup with or with out Hood 6 sizes!

I made this because I have been thinking about Halloween. It's just behind the corner! I have a ton of costume ideas and have not been able to settle on one. Until I saw this beautiful scoodie someone had posted in one of the groups I follow and I immediately started thinking about a Frankenstein version would be super cute but I'm not one to dress up so I then started thinking about how I could make it for my pup and the Frankenstein cowl was born. Hope you enjoy!
