Double Scrap Cowl
This is crochet pattern only!
Description:
Easy and fun crochet cowl with stripes. Great project to use your scrap/leftover yarn, or advent sets.
Use one main color and several contrast colors throughout the project, or make a totally unique project and change colors constantly.
The pattern is written for fingering weight yarn holding double, or DK/sport weight in a single strand. But it is very easy to adjust for heavier yarn, too.
The size of the cowl is easily customizable, you’ll work the width of the cowl as long as you want.
The stitch pattern is reversible.

Basic crochet stitches (ch, sc), how to make 1 seam.
