Soft Link Cowl

Description

Wrap yourself in seamless, cloud-like softness with an everyday cold-weather favorite that feels like a warm hug.

If you love the look of double crochet but dislike the little gaps it leaves behind, you are going to fall head over heels for the Soft Link Cowl! This lovely project is specifically designed to bring total comfort to your hands and your wardrobe. We achieve this wonderfully dense, cozy texture using a special technique called the Linked Double Crochet. Don’t let the name intimidate you, it is just a simple way of connecting your stitches as you go, and it is so much easier than it looks. Since the pattern is worked in continuous, seamless rounds, you won’t have to worry about messy joins or chaining at the start of every row. 

This cowl is absolutely perfect for tucking into your winter coat on frosty mornings, and it makes an exceptionally sweet gift for loved ones, teachers, or friends who deserve a little extra spoiling. Since it works up with just one single skein of worsted weight yarn, it is a fast and incredibly satisfying afternoon project. You can easily adjust the size to make it a long, luxurious infinity loop or a closer, snugger fit just by tweaking your stitches.
