Woodland Bark Cowl

This cowl is worked flat using Tunisian crochet and then seamed to form a loop. The design is inspired by the textures and structure of tree bark, with a focus on simple, repeatable stitches that create a richly textured fabric. The pattern is suitable for confident beginners and beyond. The stitch pattern is easy to memorise, making it an enjoyable and rhythmic project once established. The cowl is designed to be worn with positive ease, allowing it to sit comfortably around the neck with a soft, cosy drape. Gauge is not critical for this project, but changes may affect the finished size and yarn requirements. A smooth yarn with good stitch definition is recommended to highlight the textures.
