Feast your eyes on these colors! I’ve been raving all about it on my Instagram stories (follow me here), because the colors are just fantastic! I love love neutrals especially for accessories, but I could not pass this up. Good news is, the yarn does all the work for you to get this gorgeous color pattern! I’m a huge fan of “I Love This Yarn!” (sold exclusively at Hobby Lobby), so I already knew it was a yarn I wanted to work with.
Do you see that subtle texture? So much going on in this cowl, and so super easy to make. I wanted to give it lots of depth, so on top of using a textured stitch and variegated yarn, I also used two strands together to make it chunky. Besides, we all know how fast chunky yarns work up, so that’s always a plus!
If you make anything for yourself this Winter, make this because it’s the bomb dot com. I was in 30 degree weather to take these photos and I didn’t bat an eyelash.. this cowl kept me so warm!
Get to it!

Before you start crocheting, make sure the two skeins of yarn start with the same color. I had to trim some off before starting – hold two strands together while working this pattern.
Row 1: Chain 42, Join to first chain careful not to twist
Row 2: Chain 2, *[DC, SC] repeat from *, join to first DC, turn your work
Row 3: Chain 3, *DC (NOT into same space as chain 3), SC, repeat from *, join to first DC, turn your work
Row 4-15: Repeat Row 3
Fasten off
NOTE: After each row, you should end with a SC.
See how easy this is?!
Also, I made this to fit my person, if you would like a wider circumference, simply add to the beginning chain in multiples of 2. Add as many rows as you’d like.
