The Crooked River Cowl was created with warmth in mind - looser at the bottom to sit nicely on your shoulders and tighter at the top to prevent a gap around your neck. This pattern is equally fun for ANY level of crocheter and a perfect staple for market makers. For those newer to the craft of crochet, I have included detailed notes and stitch instructions. If you have never had the pleasure of working with a 25mm hook, this pattern is a great chance to try it out; it can feel a bit awkward the first few rows, but it is SO fun (and fast!) once you get in the groove!!
