Amaya Cowl Crochet Pattern

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.
