Tech editing: Tracey Davidson (www.callalilyknits.com) Photography: Natalie Goza If you think you've found an error or omission in this pattern, please contact jen at help@jenhagan.com. I fell in love with this stitch pattern because it looks like little bricks stacked up to make a wall of warmth. It's an easy pattern, yet looks complicated. This cowl would be a great next step after learning to crochet with our Learn to Crochet Cowl, which as the name implies, teaches you to work chain, single crochet, and double crochet stitches with an attractive in-the-round project. We hope you lovebothcowls! Happy Crocheting!
