Or Someone in Nebraska? is a companion to the knit version, Do You Know Someone in Alaska? The cowl is designed to fit closely to the neck and flare out over the shoulders for warmth and fun style. It uses a unique single crochet stitch called the “Waistcoat stitch” that mimics a knit stitch and results in a denser fabric than usual. The faux fur border uses simple chain and single crochets to help the fur bloom.
