A cowl is a type of cozy neck warmer that’s similar to a scarf but forms a loop. You wear it around your neck to keep warm. Unlike a scarf, you don’t have to worry about tying or adjusting it.

Cowls can be snug or loose and are perfect for adding a stylish touch to your outfit while keeping you warm on chilly days. They’re super easy to wear and great for layering under coats and jackets.

Crochet Project Materials Needed

  • Crochet hook size: P-15 10 mm crochet hook
  • Yarn: Super Bulky yarn #6/chunky yarn. I used 2 skeins of Lion Brand Yarns Wool Ease Thick & Quick in the color Carousel.
  • Yarn needle: Use this to weave in your ends.
  • Scissors: Use scissors to fasten off your yarn.
  • Stitch marker(s): These are great for beginners. They help to keep track of your stitches.
