I am so fed up with the dull, damp and dark days were are having this winter, I wanted to lash out and wear something colourful around my neck when I am wearing my black winter coat.

Scissors
Darning Needle
Pattern
With Yarn A, CO 132 ch. Join with ss to create a circle. Alternatively, if you find it easier, join when you have finished round 1 to top of 3 starting chain with a ss and use darning needle to stitch tail end to bottom of first treble stitch. This helps to avoid twisting your work.
Round 1:
Still using Yarn A, Insert hook into 3rd ch from hook, (this creates the first tr), then make 2 tr into same ch, miss 2 ch, *3 tr into next ch, miss 2 ch, *repeat to end. Join with ss to top of first st. Cut yarn, pull end through loop with hook.
Round 2:
With Yarn B, rejoin yarn. Make 3 ch, 2 tr into same space. *Miss 3 tr cluster, in next space make 3 tr, *repeat to end. Join with ss to top of first 3ch. Cut yarn, pull through loop to finish.
Round 3:
With Yarn C, rejoin yarn and repeat instructions in round 2.
Round 4:
With Yarn D, rejoin yarn and repeat instructions in round 2.
Round 5:
With Yarn E, rejoin yarn and repeat instructions in round 2.
Round 6:
With Yarn F, rejoin yarn and repeat instructions in round 2.
Rounds 1 - 6 above make up the colour repeat and the pattern.
Rounds 7 - 12:
Repeat rounds 1 - 6 above.
Rounds 12 - 18:
Repeat rounds 1 - 6 once more.
This completes the cowl.
To finish:
Work in ends with a darning needle.
Your cowl is now complete and you can wear it cheerily with a happy smile on your face, knowing it’s a product of all your hard work and happy hooking!
If you have a go at it and want to send me a picture of your finished item, I would love to see your efforts.

Hi there!
I made this cowl last night, however instead of making it in the round, I made it as one flat piece with buttons to close it up. I do not know how to add a photo here otherwise I would send you a picture.
It was a great pattern with easy instructions.
Thank you very much!
