Long Double Crochet Cowl: ********** Materials:

10 mm crochet hook Super bulky yarn (6)- I used 2.5 skeins for my cowl

Chain 27 Row 1: In third chain from hook, double crochet (initial chains count as 1 dc). *Sk 1, Ch 1, dc* until end (14 dc). Row 2: Chain 2, turn (initial chain 2 counts as 1 dc). *Dc in each ch 1 space, ch 1* until end (14 dc). Last dc is worked in space between dc and chain 2 from previous row. [Refer to this video HERE to differentiate between crocheting in the chain space vs. the chain itself.] Round 3-63 (or desired length): Repeat Row 2 Fasten off and leave long end for sewing. Whip stitch ends of cowl together. Whenfolded in half, my cowl was 86 cm or 34 in length which allowed me to wear the cowl looped twice comfortably. For those interested, my cowl was also 28 cm or 11 wide. **********

Look at these gorgeous folds, layers and texture! It really is quite the statement pieceI think it looks very high fashion :)
