Cowl measures 9" (23 cm) wide and 67" (170 cm) long before seaming.

 

NOTES

Cowl fabric is completely reversible. Cowl is crocheted from the bottom up before being twisted and seamed with the twist in place to create a “mobius” loop cowl. Turning chain (ch 1) counts as a single crochet in this pattern.

Join Short Ends

Lay piece flat. Twist one short end to create a “mobius” twist, then bring two short ends together. Using working yarn, slip st across the short ends to secure the twist. Fasten off.
