This unusual crochet cowl is a great way to use up oddments of yarn. Size is fully adjustable from fitted to slouchy. Whether you’re looking for a striking contrast or a subtle colour change, you’re sure to find a combination you love.

YOU WILL NEED 150 m DK yarn in Colour A, 150 m DK yarn in Colour B, 3.50 mm hook and a needle for neatening ends. In the example, Colour A is fawn and Colour B is turquoise.

You may use different weights of yarn, if desired. Instructions are provided for adjusting the circumference repeat and for working to desired depth.

GAUGE: A single ‘crescent moon’ and 6 rows to 2” when worked in DK. Other yarns will produce different gauges. You should aim for a lightly draping fabric that is not too stiff/loose.

This pattern is written in UK terms with a table of US equivalents for reference.

Pattern is fully tested and includes pictures to help with unusual stitch placement.
