This cozy but chic cowl is made with 100% wool yarn from Malabrigo. The cowl is ~30 inches around and ~15 inches tall. The cowl is crocheted with the shell stitch and is outlined in a contrasting yarn color using the twisted single crochet stitch. This pattern works up quickly! Once you get the hang of the shell stitch you will finish up in no time, a couple of hours at most. This perfect, fast make is just right for the holiday season and gift-giving.
