Cowl Obsession: Rustic beige Cowl
By Teresa Alvarez (February 2015)
About copyright: It's really something great when people like what l have designed. You can sell the final item or whatever you like, but it would be nice to reference where you found the pattern! This short pattern describes how to crochet a cowl using the extended Tunisian stitch· One skein is enough to have a cowl to wrap it twice around theneck· I hope that there are no mistakes in the pattern, but if you do not understand anything or find any error, please, send me a message! As always, I apologize because as you can see in the way l write, English is not my first language· So, if you find some mistakes and grammatical inconsistencies you know the base for them· I hope you enjoy it!
