Rich in texture and visual interest, this cozy cowl features a simple shell stitch pattern accented with angled post stitches to create the illusion of a textured overlay. A bobbled edging adds a touch of quirky character.

The cowl is worked from one short end to the other in a two-row repeat, then seamed. The bobble edging is worked in the round after seaming.

Customization tips are included.

This pattern uses U.S. crochet terminology.
