Groovy Cowl

This stylish accessory features a playful wave-like pattern achieved through a variation of the beloved moss stitch. Cleverly placed increases and decreases bring the flowing motif to life, perfect for showcasing two highly contrasting solid colors while only working with one color at a time.

MATERIALS
• Yarn: Any fingering weight yarn you can meet gauge with. Animal fibers are great for a cozy cowl best suited for the cold season. For best results, use two highly contrasting solid or semi-solid colors. Avoid variegated yarns.

• Hooks: 3.5 mm (main gauge) hk, 3.0 mm (ribbing) hk, or sizes needed to obtain gauge. I’m a tight crocheter, so you may have to go down in hook sizes.
