Whether you're a seasoned crocheter or a beginner, this pattern is designed to be simple and enjoyable. Let’s get started!

Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky yarn in cream with pink accents
• Hook: 10 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 8 stitches and 10 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 completed, join the last chain stitch to the first chain stitch using a slip stitch to form a ring.
2. Round 1: Chain 1 (this does not count as a stitch). Single crochet (sc) in each stitch around the ring. After completing the round, join with a slip stitch to the first single crochet to close the round.
3. Round 2: Chain 2 (this counts as your first half double crochet (hdc)). Half double crochet in each stitch around. Once you reach the end of the round, join with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning chain-2.
4. Round 3: Chain 1 (this does not count as a stitch). Begin the pattern: *Single crochet in the next stitch, double crochet (dc) in the next stitch; repeat from * around. After finishing the round, join with a slip stitch to the first single crochet to close the round.
5. Repeating Rounds: Continue to repeat Rounds 2 and 3 until your cowl measures 12 inches in height. Make sure to keep your tension consistent for an even texture.
6. Finishing: Once you have reached the desired height, fasten off your yarn by cutting it, leaving a tail of about 6 inches. Use the tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends securely.
