The Harlowe Cowl is a two-skein Tunisian crochet cowl pattern that brings together beautiful texture, open lacework, and incredible drape!

With the pointed silhouette of a triangular shawl and the convenience of a slip-on cowl, Harlowe is a lightweight accessory that’s as enjoyable to make as it is to wear.

ABOUT THE DESIGN

Harlowe is worked flat using a combination of shaping techniques to create its distinctive triangular silhouette. Once complete, the piece is partially seamed to form a comfortable, open V-shaped neckline.

Tunisian knit stitch, simple stitch, ribbing, and Arrowhead stitch come together to create contrasting sections of texture and lace. The combination of striped and tonal sections makes Harlowe a wonderful opportunity to showcase two complementary skeins of fingering weight yarn.
