This cowl was created with worsted weight yarn but can be crocheted with any weight or type of yarn. A great unisex pattern. Easy row repeat with a fun texture. The width & length of the cowl will change with the different weights of yarn. Use as many colors as you have on hand.
You can find the pattern below or if you would like to support me and my crochet habit, the pattern can be purchased on Ravelry for $2 :)
