Gauge

worked in stitch pattern

This pattern is worked in a flat, rectangular piece and sewn together when complete. For best results, we recommend wet blocking before assembling it together. If you’re not familiar with blocking, check out our guide here.

Tunisian crochet utilizes a forward pass (fwd) to collect loops on the hook and a return pass (rtn) to work the stitches off the hook. Collectively, these create a single row of the stitch pattern. You will see this reflected in the written instructions.

Assembly

Step 1: Wet block cowl to correct any curling or uneven edges by pinning it down, saturating it with water and allowing it to dry completely before moving on to the next step.

Step 2: Lay cowl flat with right side facing up. Fold bottom edge to top edge so the wrong side is showing. Seam the two ends together using a yarn needle.

Step 3: Weave in your ends.
