ABOUT
Play with color with this hypnotic chevron pattern, worked entirely in half double crochet stitches with a knit-like ribbing to cap off the colorwork body. Customize your own Cornerstone Cowl by using a solid-colored background for a 2-tone cowl or use as many colors as you’d like for each section. The nature of crocheting seamlessly in the round creates 2 different textures on the front and back; adding to its versatility, making this cowl completely reversible.

New to multi-colored crochet? No problem - this simple cowl pattern is a great project to ease you into crochet colorwork, using no more than 2 colors at a time and changing colors every 4 stitches. Easy to memorize with plenty of mindless repeats involved, this design is perfect for distracted crocheting. This unique chevron cowl resembles an optical illusion by alternating one of the colors after each chevron section. Grab 3 colors of any fingering weight yarn and let’s get making!
