"This crochet cowl is as beginner friendly as it is cute. I used a crisscross stitch to give it a little more texture but the pattern is still very simple and easy. I used Berroco remix in a #4 weight and a 5mm hook, but feel free to use any comparable yarn. This crochet cowl pattern is meant as a standalone or as a matching pair to my crochet twisted headband pattern. This project is just over a skein of yarn, so it makes for a pretty great scrap yarn buster. "
