Pattern

Foundation row

Chain 18 (or chain as much to get a width of 10” or a preferred width)

Forward pass: Insert hook into back bump of first stitch, yo, pull up loop, leave loop on hook. Repeat for all chain stitches (19 loops on hook)

Return pass: Ch1, * yo, pull through 2 loops*, repeat between ** until you have one loop left on hook

Tunisian Knit Stitch (TKS)

Forward pass: * Insert hook between both front vertical and back vertical bar from front right to back left, yo, pull up loop*, repeat between ** until the last stitch. For the last stitch, insert hook between left loop plus back bump and most right loop (this means you will have the most left loop and the back bump on the left side of your hook and the most right loop on the right side of you hook), yo, pull up loop.

Return pass: Ch1, *yo, pull through 2 loops*, repeat between ** until you have one loop left on hook.

Repeat the forward pass and return pass until your cowl is 44” long (or prefferred length, 44” is standard for a cowl that is wrapped twice loosely around your neck).

Finishing row

* Insert hook in between both front vertical and back vertical bar from front right to back left, yo, make a slip stitch (1 loop on hook)*, repeat between ** until you have worked your way to the end of the row.

Fasten off.

Take a needle and with a mattress stitch sew both ends of the cowl together.

Attach yarn into the side of a row with your normal crochet hook.

Ch1, single crochet once in each row end along the cowl.

Repeat on the other end.

Enjoy wearing your cowl!
