I woke up one morning with this mermaid cowl idea and couldn’t stop until I had a fingering version, worsted weight version, and a chunky version!

This fun pattern allows you to be as tame or as wild as you’d like. You can make a plain cowl, or add beads or tassels, or both! Regardless, you will have a stunning and functional piece.

The pattern is written to fit a woman, but there are instructions for how to make it to fit anyone you would like.

I love hand dyed Ancient Arts yarn but any fingering weight yarn will do.

If you are unsure how to crochet a crocodile stitch, add beads to your work, or make tassels, there are video links included in the pattern.
