Description
Wrap up in cozy texture with the Sheltering Ridge Cowl! This crochet puff stitch cowl is worked flat in one simple rectangle, with ribbing added to both long edges. Then it’s folded in a mobius style and seamed. There’s no working in the round. The raised puffs have a cobblestone-like look, and the ribbed edges give it a neat, stretchy finish. It’s soft, squishy, and warm. Pair it with the matching Sheltering Ridge Hat for a cozy set.

About this design: The Sheltering Ridge Cowl uses the same puff stitch as the matching hat. The raised puffs stack up like cobblestones, or like snow-capped mountain ridges, and they make a thick, squishy fabric that’s wonderful around your neck. One little twist before seaming gives the cowl its pretty mobius drape.
