Granny Stitch Cowl Crochet Pattern
If you are an intermediate crocheter and looking for a fun project to make, this is the granny stitch cowl for you!
Granny stitch is a classic crochet stitch pattern that’s quick and easy to make once you get the hang of it. This cowl crochet pattern is worked in the round to make it go even faster.
Picots in a contrasting color along the edge give a feminine flair and make the project pop. You could also turn this into a stash-busting project by changing colors every few rounds and working the picots in different colors.
