Amaya Cowl Crochet Pattern

Amaya Cowl Crochet Pattern

This pretty crocheted cowl is worked in bulky yarn so it’s super cozy for whenever you need an extra layer of warmth. 

The Amaya Cowl Crochet Pattern uses a picot stitch worked in a contrasting color to make an interesting striped effect. 

The rest of the crochet project is an easy textured stitch that you can do in a solid color or add stripes to as well. 

You could also work the picot round more often if you want a more openwork look to the crochet project. So many fun possibilities.
