Chunky yarn + big hook × easy stitch = a one hour project (more or less) that you’ll intend as a gift, but is so nice you’ll end up keeping it for yourself.
Chunky yarn + big hook × easy stitch = a one hour project (more or less) that you’ll intend as a gift, but is so nice you’ll end up keeping it for yourself.
Firstly, here is a chart for the pattern repeat:
Chain 13 (or any multiple of 3 + 4 if you want it wider – mine ended up at about 4.5 inches wide).
1st row: Dc in 4th ch from hook. (Sk 2 chs, make 3 dc in next ch) twice. Sk 2 chs, make 2 dc in last ch.
2nd row: Ch 3, turn. Make dc in same st as beginning ch 3. (Sk 2 sts, make 3 dc in next st) twice. Sk 2 sts, make 2 dc in last ch.
Repeat row 2 until you are almost at the end of your 108 yard skein (I ended up with 53 rows). Finish off, making sure to leave a long yarn tail for sewing.
Weave in your first yarn end (the short one, where you made your foundation chain). Use the long yarn tail to sew the ends of the cowl together. I used a whip stitch. Make a little knot, weave in the end. Dunzo.
