This crochet cowl loose but not so loose that it won’t keep your neck warm. If you want this crochet cowl to fit very snug all you need to do is adjust the starting chain accordingly. For a smaller cowl chain less stitches and for a bigger just add stitches.

The Yarn

This cowl is made from super bulky yarn shown here in Lions Brand Thick N Quick in Fisherman. You could also use two strands held together and the texture would look great! I have also made this cowl in LionsBrand Homespun with two strands held together it is beautiful and soft. (sorry I gifted that one before I took pictures:( )
