Vivian Crochet Cowl

With a combination of shell stitches and double crochet the Vivian Crochet Cowl has great texture yet is still easy to make.

If you can crochet a chain, you can make Nettie’s Super Simple Cowl!! All you need is one skein of Lion Brand Landscapes Yarn in Tropics, a J (6.00 mm) crochet hook, and yarn needle to weave in the two ends, and one evening; because not only is this cowl super simple, it’s super fast, too! That means it’s not too late to whip up a few for last minute gifts!! Nettie’s Cowl can be worn in several different ways, and adding a shawl pin or clip to it increases the ways it can be worn.
