Ch 44
Foundation Row: In the fourth ch from the hook, work a (dc, ch 1. *Skip 1 ch and in the next ch, work a (dc, ch 1). Repeat from * until you have two chains left. Skip the second to last ch and in the last ch, work 1 dc.

Repeat rows 1 & 2 until cowl reaches desired length.
Finishing & Assembly:
To seam the cowl, sandwich the two edges where the cowl started and finished. Work a slip stitch all the way across the row and fasten off. Weave in any ends that remain.

Just in time for St. Patrick's Day, Thank you.
Hugs,

Thanks so much, I think I'll be wearing mine today! 🙂
I love this pattern. Is there any chance of you making a tutorial for this cowl? I love watching your tutorial, especially since I'm a visual person/learner. Thanks!
Yes! I added the video above. 🙂
Love the look of this – it is definitely on my to do list!
So glad you like it!
Lovely pattern. Working on this cowl now. Thank you for your detailed patterns.
Thanks so much for your kind comment! 🙂
Hi, I am the one who wrote the last comment. Would you happen to remember how many rows you crocheted before you seamed the edges together? Thank you
Hi there! I didn't keep track of how many rows exactly, but I did work on the cowl until it was just about 30 inches long. Then after seaming it has a circumference of 30 inches. Hope that helps!
Yes that helps. Thank you so much.
Love this! Wondering if you put a twist in it before seaming together… looks kinda like it. Want to make sure.
thanks so much for the great post and video! I'm trying to whip something up fast (as it needs to get in the mail) and I haven't crocheted in years! So i was kind of in a panic until I found you. Thanks so much!!
Hi , can I do this cowl with a 4 ply yarn instead? If yes what size hook do you recommend:) thanks 🙂
This is so lovely! Thanks for sharing the pattern
I love your combination of puff stitches and double crochet. Thanks for sharing this pattern! I have some bulk yarn that is calling my name for this 🙂
Hi, This item is pretty. All of them are very pretty. Thank you for sharing 🙂
Beautiful! Thank you 🙂
I absolutely love your work.
Thanks for this lovely cowl. Just a question though, is double crochet different for the US and the U.K.? I ask because my book shows your double crochet stitch to be a treble crochet here. Double crochet here is a different stitch altogether. I am going to do this cowl and am very glad I watched the tutorial otherwise It would have looked different.
Hello! I have made one of these already, and I have a question. Mine seems to look uneven the further I work on it, is it supposed to do that? Thank you.
