The Second Signal Cowl is a modern beginner Tunisian crochet cowl with a bold triangular shape and a subtle two-color shift. Worked from sideways, this design uses simple increases, clean striping, and Tunisian Simple Stitch to create a textured fabric with beautiful drape and quiet graphic movement.

The two colors move like a signal passing through the stitches—one shade leading, the other answering—before settling into a wearable cowl that feels polished, cozy, and easy to style. It’s a satisfying project for Tunisian crochet beginners who want to practice shaping, color changes, and simple finishing without committing to a large wrap or shawl.

This pattern uses DK weight yarn and a 7 mm Tunisian crochet hook with a cord. The finished cowl measures approximately 25 in / 63.5 cm wide by 18 in / 46 cm deep, with a 4 in / 10 cm neck depth. The sample uses Lady Grey DK from Plies & Hellhounds, with 170 yds / 155 m total required.
