IMPORTANT: READ ALL THE NOTES BEFORE BEGINNING (see pattern for info)

Works up quickly and easily after getting the idea and hang of working in the extra thread of yarn created by the Half-double Crochet stitch.

One thing I love about this cowl is the look of “face-up chains” along the body of the work. (I think it might be called a crochet stockinette stitch, I’m not sure, but I didn’t use a Tunisian hook to make it with).

This can be made larger or smaller by just changing hook size and/or changing the number of initial chain stitches. As long as it will fit over your head you’ve got a cowl; convert it to a hooded cowl simply by increasing the number of rows until the desired length is reached.

Materials:

• 3 skeins of color-coordinating yarn, or colors of your choice, make it rainbow if you want - it is yours after all - I used I Love This Yarn in Brown, Ivory and Toasted Almond
