Regardless of how you choose to wear it, it will add a nice touch of lace to any outfit.

I used Patons Canadianna yarn because it is super soft. It is a medium weight acrylic, but softer than many yarns in that category. You can substitute, but if you have sensitive skin then you’ll want to stick with something soft.

The crochet cowl is easy to make once the basics of crocheting and broomstick lace have been mastered. The only stitches required are the chains (chs), slip stitch (sl st), single crochet (sc), double crochet 2 together (dc2tog), and broomstick lace.

Broomstick lace is worked by pulling up loops onto a knitting needle from left to right. This row is referred to as the loop row. The loops are then worked off the needle with regular crochet stitches from right to left. Broomstick Lace Tutorial
