The yarn used in this free crochet pattern is Lion Brand, “Hometown USA” which comes in MANY different colors. Choose one that is right for you. This one is for my daughter who has a beautiful red winter coat and hates it when her scarf falls off on her way to school. When she saw the finished piece she reminded me of the seagulls on Finding Nemo because she kept exclaiming MINE! MINE! MINE!

More Than Just a Cowl Free Crochet Pattern Instructions
Extra Information about the One Ball Wonder Scarf!
Sometimes a plain infinity cowl just will not do and you want a little bit more to it. By adding a couple drawstrings to the body of the piece you can get not only a cowl but a cute off shoulder warmer (some might call it a mini shrug or capelet)he free crochet pattern More Than Just An Infinity Cowl
Drawstring with Pom Pom’s (make two)
Ch 111. Fasten off
Weave the slip stitched chain through the pattern stitch on the cowl so that when the ends are pulled it will synch up like a drawstring.
Once the chain is in place, add a pom pom the ends of the chain.
Tip: I used the tails of the chain as the center knot on the pom pom to make it a no sew join!
Not sure what I mean about using the tails of the chain as the center knot. Here are some pictures to help.
2: Using sharp scissors cut the center of the pom pom.
3: Use the tail of the drawstring to secure the center knot of the pom pom.
4: I chose to knot mine several times to make sure it would not come undone.
5: You now have a cute pom pom that is already attached to the drawstring so you don’t have to sew anything!
Repeat this process for all the drawstring tails. You could totally use a different color yarn for the pom pom for a different look.
Here is a video I did to help you make a pom pom with the clover pom pom maker incase you have never done it before

I just tried making this, but ran out of yarn. So guessing it must take 2 skeins to make the cowl part alone?
