A Crochet cowl or a Ruffled Neck Warmer
… a cross between a cowl and a ruff…
A Crochet cowl for you to make. I first called this a ‘ruff-neck cowl’ because that is exactly what it looked like a cross between a cowl and a ruff (of the Elizabethan kind ) Then I reconsidered and renamed it the ruffled neck warmer cowl!
I wore this frequently last week and it kept me snug during the rainy, cold and windy mornings. If you would like to know how to crochet it read on…
Some Details:
I used a Hook size 10mm and the yarn was a King Cole Value, super Chunky in grey x 1 and denim x 1.
The Ruffled Neck Cowl Pattern:
Tassels
I have a clover tassel maker in the large size, I used it to make the tassels ion this cowl. However you can also use a book!
I have a tutorial on making fringe tassels here you can adapt this to make tassel ends just by tying off the tops securely.

When I crochet a pattern I like it to be adaptable, I like to be able to make it in my own style. Surely thats the beauty of a handmade item, the fact that its unique, that you won’t see 10 of them walking down the high street?
I like a designer to suggest an alternative colour palette or colour patterns, ie stripes or blocks?
Am I alone in this? Do you follow a pattern down to the last stitch, colour and yarn or do you enjoy experimenting?
