This fashionable cowl works up quickly with just 1 ball of Willow Yarns Dappled. It is crocheted using the linen stitch in the round with a mobius join; this puts the starting chain through the center of the cowl, and makes each round add stitches to both the top and the bottom of the cowl. It is fun to make, and the stitch and yarn work wonderfully together to create beautiful texture and color changes. The cowl also works up quickly because it is made holding 2 strands of yarn together as one, so the gauge is a bit larger.
