Christmas crochet cowls are a must for the festive season! The thing I love about cowls, is they stay in place unlike long scarves! Crochet this Christmas cozy wool using your favourite Christmas yarn or colour combinations.
Winter is here and Christmas is round the corner. I am a fan of something handmade anytime! especially if it is made with yarn.
With Christmas colours, you can easily make this cowl within a few hours. It is ideal for a last minute Christmas gift for that special person in your life. I love making crochet gifts because it is usually a well thought of project. While you are making it your thoughts are on the person you’re making it for making it dear!
Notes
This cowl is crocheted in rounds and yarn at the end of row is carried to the next row and not cut.
Just pick up the other colour and continue working.
To customise this cowl, add more stripes as desired, or increase the foundation row ( or double it) to form a cowl that can be worn twice around the neck. You can also use different colours as desired.
