PATTERN NOTES:
Yarn/Yardage: Sample was made with Knit Pick's Brava (100% premium acrylic; 218 yards per 100 grams) in the Plummy Speckle colorway. Any 100 gram skein of worsted weight yarn will do.
Gauge: 16 stitches and 8 rows over 4 inches in Double Crochet stitch.
Notions: scissors, yarn needle
Hook: 5.0 mm (size H). Or whatever size needed to obtain gauge.
Finished Measurements: Finished cowl measures 26 inches in circumference and 6 inches in width. Finished measurements may vary due to different gauge and yarn types.
Abbreviations:
ch- chain
dc- Double Crochet
R- Row
RS- Right Side
sc- Single Crochet
sk- skip
st(s)- stitch(es)
WS- Wrong Side
Special Stitches: Chain-less Starting Stitch (CSS); alternative to turning chain
Turn work, ready to work across row. Pull working loop long, twist hook to go under loop (making a yarn over), and work regular double crochet into first stitch. This will give you straighter edges than turning chains.
