yarn over and pull up a loop. Insert hook into next stitch, yarn over and pull
up a loop (3 loops on hook). Yarn over, pull through 2 loops, yarn over, pull
through remaining 2 loops.

The Cowl
is crocheted in the round so you do not need to join rounds for this pattern or
chain 1 at the beginning of each round, simply crochet in continuous rounds (put a stitch marker in the first st of each rnd, so I know where to begin and
end)
To make
the cowl longer increase the number of sts in the beginning ch and to make the cowl
wider increase the number of rows completed.
Instructions:
Foundation
Chain: Using the K/10.5
(6.5mm) crochet hook chain 84, join the last Ch to the first Ch with a Sl St,
making sure not to twist your chain, switch to the J/10 (6 mm) and continue to
