Fading Memories Crochet Cowl 2025

Join the fight against Alzheimer’s disease! This top-down tapered cowl was designed as a crochet counterpart to knit designer Ann Budd’s Fading Memories Cowl 2025. As part of the Alzheimer’s Association Longest Day campaign, Ann knits while raising funds and awareness to help fight this terrible disease. Both the knit and crochet versions of the cowl were designed to represent the continued memory loss that afflicts people with this disease. $5 of each pattern sold during the campaign will be donated to directly to alz.org under Ann Budd’s fundraiser. This year, let’s stitch together to help those and their families suffering from Alzheimer’s and other dementia.
