The Pearl cowl is a simple, cozy and addictive project worked in the Tunisian crochet technique. Each shell element of the cowl is small enough to place all of your stitches on a regular crochet hook, no need to use special Tunisian hooks with extensions.

The deep insert is made in simple linen stitch using a contrasting color which not only adds additional visual interest but, when tucked inside, adds structure which allows the cowl to hold its shape making it both very functional and comfortable to wear.

I create new crochet stitches to show a quieter, softer side of crochet: calm, simple, and casual. My patterns may look unusual at first only because the technique is new to you, just like your first chain or single crochet once was. After a little practice, it feels easy and natural.
