These are the neatest things, I have made about 20 of them so far, short ones, medium length, long, and extra long and it is wrapped around twice….I use joining the chain to form a circle method, and out of various types of yarn…..I have neck and back problens, and having it on provides a constant warmth to my neck. I read where someone weaves leather or ribbon through it…that is a great idea, and will be trying that as well…..Thanks for all the great info.

I can see this being made as a neck warmer, a scarf, and even a shoulder warmer for those long winter evenings. Thank you for this pattern and all the tips for crocheting different items.

Hi Angela, you can use any yarn you like that is the medium weight yarn. There’s nothing wrong with having to increase the chain. You can make it as long or as short as needed to fit your liking.

Do you request any special yarn to make this loose cowl. I have tried Loops & Thread impeccable yarn 4 medium but had to increase the chain.

Please advise.

Hi Bobbie, the "twist" idea is to add a bit more style to the cowl if you want. Before you sew the cowl together, you can twist the entire cowl one time around, and then sew the ends together. That way there will be a twist in the finished cowl. If you are trying to make a hood, yes you can make the cowl longer and also wider if you desire. Yes, you can crochet it in a continuous loop of you want to as well. To do so, join the ends of the rows as you crochet. You can do a twist if you want, even if you crochet in a continuous loop, here's a tutorial on that: How to Crochet a Mobius
