Perfect for a visit to the pumpkin patch or for a brisk walk around the town trick-or-treating, the Lil Punkins Cowl is a cute and snuggly Autumn delight! It’s made by first creating a simple single crochet cowl with contrasting edging, then the “lil punkins” are embroidered on afterwards using a simple technique & tools you already have on hand. Simple enough for beginners, but so super cute & wearable!

(Customizable kits are also available from Crochet.com.)
