What Kind of Yarn Works With This Pattern?

This is a great one skein project for any medium weight or chunky weight yarn. Note, if you use a chunkier yarn, it will change the size. Making it larger.

Feel free to play with colors. Experiment with different yarn colors to match your wardrobe or express your mood. Variegated yarns like the one I used today can add a burst of color with minimal effort.

This cowl has lots of texture that comes from the yarn. Consider yarns with unique textures to add depth to your cowl. Bouclé, chenille, or tweed yarns can make even the simplest stitch patterns look sophisticated.

Wearing This Crochet Cowl Over the Shoulders

This cowl is just the right size. Snuggle this around your neck or wear over your shoulders. Hold in place with a beautiful brooch.

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.
