There’s not much that is more basic than a cowl – a simple tube of fabric, large enough to pull over your head and rest around your neck, cowls are a great way to use up a lonely stray ball of yarn, experiment with a new stitch pattern, or keep your hands busy during a movie. They’re so fast to make that they’re ideal last-minute gifts!

This single-skein cowl is simple and speedy, with alternating bands of single and double crochet forming a subtly interesting texture that requires only bare attention from you to navigate successfully.<\/td><\/tr>
