Free Crochet Cowl Pattern-Black and White and Red All Over Cowl
For many of us it is the time of the year when we need to get out our cold weather accessories. It is always a treat to be able to have something new to add to our collection. This cowl is made with three colors of Red Heart With Love. Red Heart With Love is such a soft yarn that you will love wearing this cowl every time it is cold out. With 64 colors to choose from you can customize this cowl to fit your needs.
The shallow post stitch used in this free crochet cowl pattern is very similar to the front and back post stitch that you may already know. The only difference is the placement of the stitch. I have put together a blog post and YouTube tutorial to show you exactly how to do the stitch.
