What can I tell you about this pattern?

This easy-to-follow pattern is designed with beginners in mind, so even if you’ve never picked up a crochet hook before, you can easily create this beautiful cowl.

All you need is two strands of yarn or a chunky weight yarn, so it’s a great project to use up those leftover skeins you might have lying around.

But the best part about this braided crochet cowl pattern is its incredibly versatile.

You can make it in any color you like to match it to your winter wardrobe. Whether you prefer classic neutrals like black or white or want to add a pop of color with a bright red or cheerful yellow, the possibilities are endless.

And if you’re short on time, this braided cowl is also a very quick project. You can whip one up in just a few hours, so you’ll have a stylish winter accessory in no time.
