This is actually the first cowl neck hoodie I ever made. I made the hood/cowl neck way to big but it still works for the drama. I also hadn't quite figured out the lengthening for a long torso thing yet. But, overall, successful.
I used a standard knit top pattern. For the cowl neck, I measured from the base of the back of my neck to just past my hairline and then added a few inches for hems, seams and to be safe. For me, it ended up being ~20 inches for length. I've found for the width, that at least 30 inches, preferably 33 to 34 (that includes seam allowance) usually works. I often make a few pleats attaching it to neckline on the shirt since most of the necklines (except this one) are not around 32 inches.
