Cowls are awesome. It’s like all of the warmth of a scarf, combined with the funky look of a crochet turtleneck sweater (but with, like, 1/10th of the work), AND it also counts as your jewelry, ya know, if you do it right.

So this is my Dynamite Cowl. I used the moss stitch, which made it go crazy fast, since you crochet into the ch spaces, not the stitches. Awesome, right?

approximately 5”x 26.5”

Supplies:
Worsted weight yarn (I used a variety of colors from my stash, but they were all 100% cotton, which is warm enough for Southern California. If you live in an area that snows, you will probably want to use wool…)
Size J crochet hook
Two 1 1/8” buttons
