Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with Color A: Chain 60 loosely and join with a slip stitch to form a ring. Ensure the chain is not twisted.
2. Round 1: Chain 1, then single crochet in each chain around. Join with a slip stitch to the first single crochet. (You should have 60 single crochets.)
3. Round 2: Change to Color B. Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet). Now, *skip 1 single crochet, double crochet in the next single crochet, then double crochet in the skipped single crochet (this creates a crossed double crochet)*. Repeat from * to * around. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning chain 3.
4. Round 3: Chain 1, single crochet in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch to the first single crochet.
5. Round 4: Change back to Color A. Repeat Round 2.
6. Round 5: Repeat Round 3.
7. Continue Alternating Colors: Keep alternating colors every two rounds, repeating Rounds 2 and 3 until the cowl measures approximately 8 inches in height.
8. Finish Up: Once you reach the desired height, fasten off your work and weave in all ends securely using a tapestry needle.
