I had been searching for weeks for a hooded cowl that I could easily crochet in a day and I didn't like any of the styles available. I also didn't want to have to pay for something I could create myself...so I designed this cowl in an afternoon and it's easy enough to stitch in a day using super bulky yarn.

NOTES: Always maintain 70 stitches even if that goes against the normal methods of crochet. No matter the stitch, always start in the first stitch (that is the stitch to JOIN at the end).

When Joining, use BOTH loops! Then pay attention to what the pattern says for either using Back Loops Only or Both Loops.

This piece is written for American style crochet. Stitches and methods used: chain (ch), Back Loops Only, single crochet (sc), double crochet (dc), triple crochet which is also called treble crochet (tc), join, bind off, weave in ends.

I love the look of this! Most of us are in the winter months which means it's getting very cold. We need extra layers. I have personally never had a cowl; just always used my hood. Cowls seems to be great as they can cover your head or if you need a bit more around your neck, just pull it down.
 
A friend of mine suggested adding a cord so it can be tightened around the face. I kind of like having it the way it is so that the wind doesn't reach my nose when I turn my head.
