Crochet Pattern Notes
This pattern is written in US Terms.
Work this cowl flat then join after.
Special Stitches
Creating a Slip Knot. This is the first step in almost all crochet projects, creating the initial loop on your hook from which you’ll begin your work.
Making a Chain (CH). This simple yet fundamental technique involves yarn over and pulling through a loop to create a series of chain stitches. It’s the foundation for most crochet projects.
Double Crochet (DC). Yarn over, insert the hook through both loops and pull up a loop. Next, yarn over and pull through two loops on the hook. Lastly, yarn over again and pull through the last two loops on the hook.
