Halo Cowl is perfect for using up mini skeins and yarn scraps. By holding the same colour of mohair floof together with the other yarns throughout the cowl, it brings colour cohesion, taming even the wildest colours into a beautiful palette.

Crocheted using extended double crochet, half trebles and chains in a simple 4-round repeat, this cowl flies off your hook.
You can choose to use 4ply or DK weight yarn, and to crochet a long cowl that can be doubled over or a short one that snuggles around your neck.

Terminology
Halo is available in UK and US terms. After checkout, both patterns will be available to download.

Instructions
Halo Cowl is written and charted.
