This incredibly soft and warm cowl is VERY long, measuring 45inches (115cm) long by 5inches (13cm) wide when doubled over. Designed to incorporate a subtly ribbed pattern, which provides plenty of texture when twisted around the neck either two or three times and with a gentle sprinkle of sequins to add a little sparkle to those grey winter days. The two shorter ends can be fastened with buttons for the cowl effect or left undone to create a scarf.

This beginners/intermediate crochet pattern is simple and quick to produce using a mix of double crochet and half double crochet stitches, perfect for those last minute gifts.
