Making Pinna II Cowl will convince you beyond any doubt of how interesting crochet can be. While simple single and double crochet are stitches of choice for many crocheters, stepping away from them will land you this stunning texture. Directions are given for a cowl, but if you add a skein or 2 you may use this pattern to make a scarf.

Finished dimensions: about 40 inches/101.5 cm in circumference and 8.5 inches/21.5 cm wide.
