Materials Needed

• Gauge: 8 stitches and 6 rows = 4 inches in pattern stitch
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by making a foundation chain of 60 stitches. Ensure that the chain is not twisted. Once you have your chain, join it with a slip stitch to form a ring.
2. Round 1: Chain 2 (this counts as your first half double crochet, or hdc). Now, work one hdc in each stitch around the ring. After completing the round, join with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning chain-2.
3. Round 2: Chain 2 again. Now, you will create the textured pattern: *Work a front post double crochet (fpdc) around the next stitch, then a back post double crochet (bpdc) around the next stitch; repeat from * around the entire round. Once finished, join with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning chain-2.
4. Round 3: Start this round by chaining 2. This time, you will alternate the stitches: *Work a back post double crochet (bpdc) around the next stitch, then a front post double crochet (fpdc) around the next stitch; repeat from * around. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning chain-2.
5. Repeat Rounds: Continue to repeat Rounds 2 and 3 until your cowl measures approximately 10 inches in height. This will create the lovely textured pattern that gives the cowl its unique look.
6. Finishing: Once you have reached the desired height, fasten off your yarn. Use your tapestry needle to weave in all loose ends, ensuring your cowl is neat and tidy.
