This past Christmas my husband gave me 3 skeins of yarn and a gift card to Joann, telling me to make something for mySELF! I rarely stop to make crochet projects I will personally wear
(tell me I’m not the only one!)
but with our very chilly Virginia winter, I’ve been needing something just like this cowl to keep my neck warm. With bulky yarn or two strands held together, this crochet cowl works up so fast!
Tools and Materials:
- #6 Super Bulky yarn (shown in Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick – “Hudson Bay”)
– you can also use two strands of #4 yarn held together - N hook (9 mm)
So squishy and warm!
