About the pattern

The Peach grove cowl takes its name from the bounty of peaches covering this Tunisian crochet cowl.

Worked up in sock weight yarn in delicious shades of peachy orange and pink, this cowl features a lacy bottom band that grows into a field covered in lacy peach motifs, with a solid upper edge in honeycomb stitch.

This is a cowl pattern with 6 sizes from child to adult.

Perfect for keeping you warm on chilly spring or autumn mornings, this stylish accessory is as easy to make as it is to wear.

You can use up a skein of beautiful hand-dyed yarn or two-three balls of sock yarn.

Work flat or in the round, as you wish. The instructions are written for working flat.

You can also make this cowl in a thicker yarn and larger hook.

In that case, choose the instructions form one of the smaller sizes.
