Discover the soothing rhythm of simple Tunisian crochet stitches with the Alloa Cowl—an easy, enjoyable project that creates a beautifully textured and practical accessory. Designed to be straightforward and relaxing, this pattern lets you settle into the stitches without constant pattern-checking, while still offering just enough interest to keep things engaging.

The sample is made using two balls of Scheepjes Softfun Denim, but the cowl also works wonderfully with a single 100g skein of hand-dyed DK yarn (images of both yarns shown). Add picots to both edges for a delicate decorative finish, or keep it simple for a clean, modern look.

Perfect for beginners wanting to explore Tunisian crochet or experienced makers seeking a mindful, quick project.
