Crossed Swords Cowl


Silver Post Medal for All Time! 293 Posts

finished cowl on mannequinI chose this name because of the unique crossover double crochet pattern. It is very textured and interesting to look at. You will look like a pro, yet you will only need basic double and single crochet knowledge.

This pattern will allow you to turn a humble $2 ball of Red Heart yarn into your very own masterpiece. It is great as a gift, even better to keep and show off.
Have fun making your cowl!

  6. When you work your dc in the skipped sc, you will simply go back and work it from the front as usual.

  18. Ch 2, turn. Work 1 dc in each stitch till end.
  19. Repeat 2 more times.*The reason you are adding these 4 rows is simply because the cowl ended up too short!:) I needed a bit more length so you weren't being choked when wearing it wrapped around your neck.
  20. adding 4 rows to extend length
     
  21. Line up your end with the other scarf end.
