Crocheted chunky cowls patterns make great projects. They are easy and quick when you use a chunky yarn.
I though I would try the Colorama O’Go Yarn. This yarn is a great chunky neutral.
The crochet stitch for this pattern is the front and back loop double crochet. This is an easy stitch and work up quickly.
The double crochet stitches are in groups up three. This make a basketweave like texture.
I have made a few other free cowl crochet patterns that you can try: Cocoa Chunky Cowl, Moss Stitch Chunky Cowl, Candy Cane Neck Warmer Pattern, and Cranberry Bulky Crochet Cowl Pattern.
