A bold, beginner-friendly cowl designed to make mosaic crochet feel easy. The Courtyard Cowl uses simple stitches, one color per round, and a graphic tile-inspired repeat to create colorwork that looks way more complicated than it is.

Worked in heavy DK/light worsted weight yarn, this cowl is quick, cozy, and finished with ribbing on the top and bottom for a clean edge. The pattern includes written instructions and a mosaic chart, plus notes for customizing the width and height.
