Lion Brand^® Chenille

GAUGE:

6 1/2 half double crochet = 4 in. (10 cm). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

NOTES:

1. Cowl is worked in joined rounds with the RS always facing. At the end of each round, join last stitch with a slip stitch in the first stitch.
2. If you find it difficult to join the beginning chain into a ring without twisting, Round 1 can be worked as a row, then joined into a round, as follows: Leaving a long beginning tail, chain 40, half double crochet in 3rd chain from hook (beginning chain counts as first stitch) and in each chain across; join with slip stitch in top of beginning chain to form a ring. Use beginning tail to sew gap at base of first row closed. Proceed to Round 2.
