This warm and snuggly Tunisian crochet cowl will keep you comfortable in the coldest weather. Both sides are attractive which means it’s reversible - you can throw it on without a second glance!

Because the design uses simple TC stitches, it’s suitable for beginners. Experienced Tunisian crocheters will find that it works up in a flash!

It was designed in aran weight yarn with two colors and comes in three sizes. The cowl is worked flat and the short edges are joined with a quick and easy seam; you can choose between a crochet seam or a needle seam.

Would you like to use a different yarn weight? More colors? Use up bits of stash yarn? No problem!

The pattern provides instructions on using different yarn weights, changing cowl length and using more colors - perfect for stash busting or making a scrappy cowl!

Links to captioned video tutorials for the stitches, color changes, bind off, needle and crochet seams and ribbing are included.

The gray/black cowl is size L, made in aran weight. The smaller brown/pink/green cowl was made in worsted weight (modifications used have been included in the pattern PDF).

Hope you love this design as much as I do!
