The Bobble V-Stitch Crochet Cowl pattern was originally designed with a matching beret as part of the Winter Crochet Set Blog Hop with SandraStitches. The pattern is now available on its own for easy reading.

Although I tend to be more of a scarf person myself, there’s something wonderful about the ease of wearing and carrying a crochet cowl!
Crochet cowls are small enough to fit into a purse or bag once you get inside, so there’s no need to worry about it falling off a coat rack and getting dragged along the floor. (What can I say, I’ve worked in a lot of school buildings over the years and it does happen!)
