Size H crochet hook



Stitches used:
Ch: chain
Sc: single crochet
Fpdc: front post double crochet
Fptr: front post triple crochet


Notes:
Each row (except the first, which will have 35 chain stitches) should have 34 stitches.
Row 4 is the first row with fpdc stitches. Those stitches should be done around stitches directly below, in row 2. After that, each fpdc should be done around the fpdcs directly below.

Repeat rows 3-14, as many times as necessary. In my photos, I repeated it 14 times. Lay your work out, with your last row you crocheted next to the SIDE of your first rows. With the braid sides on the inside, crochet one row of scs through both your current row AND the side of your first rows. This will connect your cowl. Fasten off, and weave in the ends.
