With a combination of shell stitches and double crochet the Vivian Crochet Cowl has great texture yet is still easy to make. The Lion Brand Cute As A Button yarn makes is super soft and squishy as well. I have also designed a knit version if that’s more your groove. This cowl can be made super quick with just one skein of yarn. The starting chain runs around the middle of the cowl, and the stitches are then worked up to the top and then down to the bottom. I really enjoyed creating the Vivian Cowl for you!
The yarn for this design was provided by Lion Brand.
I’m participating in the International Crochet Month Designer Showcase with Underground Crafter. Come join the fun! Every day in March, 2019, we’ll highlight a different crochet designer who is also a member of the Crochet Guild of America. Each designer will share a free crochet pattern or a 25% discount on a premium pattern. We’ve partnered with some of our favorite companies to get some great prizes for you — including yarn, crochet hooks, notions, pattern books, and more! Find out more information about participating designers, the schedule, and how to enter to win the prizes on Underground Crafter.
