C2C shell stitch Winter warmer; pattern includes instructions to create either an open shawl or a closed cowl.

The perfect make for those who love mermaids all year round!

Includes two PDFs; UK and US terminology, English instructions with full colour photos of each stage.

A one ball project makes a gorgeous tactile cowl, 2 balls would make a shawl. Works well with gradient or ombre yarns and uses a simple stitch repeat in a corner to corner construction method.

Beginner friendly and a quick project to make! (Use dc & tr - US sc & dc, and optional front post / back post for rib)

I used DK yarn and a 4mm hook but this pattern could work with any yarn weight and the appropriate hook.
