Simple stitches and chains worked on the diagonal to create a modern, and very wearable crochet cowl!

The main section is worked in a rectangle, corner to corner. A pretty scallop edging is then added.

This pattern includes written instructions for DK and sock-weight yarns.

Charts are included to guide you through the written patterns.

Note that this pattern uses a Stacked Start instead of a 3chain to begin rows. A video tutorial is linked to demonstrate the simple technique.

Green Cowl: 3mm hook.
Marzipan Cowl: 4mm (US G/6) hook.

Stitch markers for ends of rows.
Darning needle for sewing cowl together.
