Chunky Crocheted Cowl.
In December I have a small craft fair in Boise to attend so I figured I had better get to work making something to sell or else I'll have a pretty lame and empty table. I've been trying a few different ideas for cowls and thought I'd share with you the easiest, most basic one to make.
Get two balls of yarn, I've done some with two different colors and some with the same color, they both look awesome. You're going to be using two strands on yarn on your hook at the same time. Using a large hook (N-P) crochet a very long chain and then connect the ends, taking care to make sure the chain doesn't twist. If you want to wrap it around your neck twice, it'll need to hang to about your waist, knees if you want to wrap 3 times. Then just double crochet however many rows it takes until you get the desired width. Using two strands of yarn makes for a nice thick, warm, and chunky cowl.
