Description

A warm, stretchy crochet cowl that can be rolled, folded, and scrunched for several fashionable looks. Fun and easy crochet project in a mesh rib stitch that’s crocheted as a continuous spiral.

It’s fast and easy to crochet: work only into every other stitch in a spiral. This means no turning, no joining rounds, no counting stitches! If you use a self-striping yarn (shown), you can let the yarn do the work.

A simple type of increasing is used for the rounds at the shoulder. Another lovely quality of this stitch is that the increases are almost completely invisible.
