The Gulls and Slips crochet cowl is an intermediate crochet pattern designed to imitate the look of the gulls and garter knit stitch. You can crochet this stunning textured cowl by weaving a floater strand of yarn through your stitches as you crochet to leave floats behind. Later, you’ll come back and crochet those strands into place creating the beautifully textured arrows of the design.

This crochet cowl is worked in the round from the bottom up and is easy to customize in size. I’ll be sharing the multiples you need to repeat the stitch pattern so you can customize the circumference of the cowl, as well as the multiple for the row repeats so you can easily customize the length of your cowl.
