This cozy waffle stitch cowl is designed with a thick, textured waffle pattern that creates beautiful dimension and excellent warmth. The stitch combination gives the fabric a lovely drape and stretch, making it comfortable to wear while looking elegant and stylish. It features a clean single crochet border for a neat finish that helps the cowl hold its shape.

Size
• Width: approximately 25–26 cm (10 inches)
• Circumference: approximately 68–70 cm (27–28 inches)
This size fits most adults comfortably and can be worn wrapped once or twice around the neck.

Gauge
14 stitches × 20 rows = 10 cm × 10 cm (4 inches × 4 inches) in waffle stitch, using the recommended hook size.
Always make a gauge swatch and adjust hook size if needed to match the gauge.

Materials Needed
• Yarn: 1 skein of chunky / bulky weight tweed yarn (approximately 100–120g / 3.5–4.2 oz) with small colored neps for a beautiful speckled effect.
(The sample shown uses a soft, variegated chunky yarn with tiny color flecks.)
• Crochet hook: 5.0 mm (US J/10 to K/10.5) or size needed to obtain gauge
• Tapestry needle (yarn needle) for weaving in ends
• Scissors and stitch markers (optional)

Yarn Requirements
Only 1 skein (100–120g) is needed to complete one cowl. If you prefer a longer or wider version, prepare an extra 20–30g of yarn.

Color Suggestions
The cream base with subtle multicolored flecks (as shown) is versatile and pairs beautifully with many outfits. Other great options include soft beige, light gray, mocha brown, or pastel tones for a sweet, feminine look.
