With 3 skeins I was able to complete the hooded scarf and a cowl. Depending on how you knit, a second cowl may be possible. The way I knit I usually end up using more yarn than most. The pattern, which can be founds at https://id306.securedata.net/sandrasingh.com/merchantmanager/product_info.php?products_id=3422, can be made in 4 different ways. Here is Lisa's description of this pattern:
Four simple styles, from top down to bottom up and cowls in the round or flat. Pick your style and skill level. Nothing too complicated but extremely satisfying!
1 skein makes both cowls
2 skeins make top down hooded scarf and turtleneck cowl
3 skeins make bottom up hooded scarf and buttoned cowl
Top down scarf uses provisional cast on and kitchener grafting
Bottom up scarf uses picking up sts and kitchener grafting or 3-needle bind off
