Closing Time Cowl || Crochet

The Closing Time Cowl is part of the Countdown to 2021 event with Erin Lane Bags and Destination Yarns. This mystery make along is a fun way to ring in the new year.

I designed this to be a pleasant and intriguing project. I do hope you enjoy Crocheting it with me.

SPECIAL STITCHES / ABBREVIATIONS

Shallow Back Post Double Crochet (shallow bpdc): Yarn over, insert hook from the back of the work under the top 2 loops (“v” of the stitches) of indicated stitch to front of the work and out the back of the work through the top 2 loops of the next stitch not around the post of designated stitch, and yarn over and pull up a loop,  (yarn over and draw through 2 loops on hook) twice.

The pattern will indicate when to cut or carry the yarn to change colors. When the color is cut, leave a nice tail so you can weave in or bury your ends.
