Simple Versatile Cowl - Free Crochet Pattern

It has still been unseasonably cold here in Tennessee. We missed the big southern snow that came this week, but we did not miss the single digit temperatures that accompanied it. I wanted something to keep my neck warm but didn’t want to take the time to whip up an entire scarf. Hence the Simple Versatile Cowl was born.

One day when it was not too cold out my family and I went out for a walk at a local park and I took all kinds of pictures of myself wearing this cowl. I love it! This is exactly what I was looking for in a neck warmer – simple to make, fun to wear, and looks great.

As you can see I took lots of pictures while my husband and sons were busy at the park. It was a fun day!

I am still finding new ways to wear it. With this weather, I have definitely been getting a lot of use out of this cowl!
