Here’s a stylish crochet cowl you won’t believe wasn’t knitted!

If you’re a fan of crochet accessories that have the beautiful texture of knitting you’ll love this pattern as you’ll complete it from start to finish with a crochet hook, not a pair of knitting needles. Not to mention all the money you save as a cowl like this could be a bit pricey at your favorite department store or boutique. It’s great for gift giving and for crafts fairs and online sales, too!

Best of all you’ll have the satisfaction of completing a handmade item. If you’re an experienced crocheter you can whip this one up in a very short time, perhaps as you multi-task or bing watch your favorite TV series. Even if you’re new to crocheting this is an achievable project!

And not least, this wonderful pattern is free! It’s the “Knit Look Crochet Cowl” and it’s by crochet designer Delia of Delia Creates. You’ll get the full rundown along with many more inspiring photos and the written pattern.
