Cozy chunky cowl
If you are looking for an easy project to practice the double crochet stitch, working on the back loop only, in the round, this is the best one you can get.
Since the yarn used is a chunky size, it will build up very quickly, you will have a new warmer in less than two hours.
I used Hayfield Colour Rich Chunky, however, this yarn is discontinued but you can find the yarn substitution in yarnsub website. I always use it when I need to search for a substitution, is amazing!
What do you need:
Approx 90 gr of Chunky yarn
Hook 7mm or any size to obtain the gauge
Size and gauge:
Width: 13″ [33 cm] (one side only) height: 12″ [31 cm]
12 dc = 4” [10 cm] and 6 rows = 4” [10 cm]
