How to crochet an easy cowl worked in the classic granny stitch pattern and worsted weight yarn. Oversized so it can be pulled up over your head, and tucked into your jacket for added warmth.
You'll need 965 Yards of Worsted Weight Yarn – I used Emma’s Yarn Washable Worsted in the Freshly Cut colorway, an H8/5mm crochet hook, and tapestry needle.
