Basically just one large chevron, the One Way Cowl is a quick crochet project that can be done in stripey-style or a solid color. I loved crocheting it Madelinetosh Home, but you could use any bulky weight yarn (all you need is about 210 yards!). It is crocheted entirely in half double crochet through the front loop.

This pattern is super simple and basically consists of a Tunisian crocheted rectangle with button holes along one edge. A great beginner project, it works up on the quicker side for a fingering weight yarn project, and is the perfect way to start crocheting with that singular skein of sock yarn you’ve been itching to work with.
