Bulky Cowl Crochet Pattern

The Karen Cowl was a dream to create. I love working with Sugarbush Chill Yarn, and this Beaufort Sea color is beautiful! I love the squishy texture and the unique style of this cowl, and the bulky yarn works up nice and quickly! Perfect for craft fairs or a last minute gift! You can even make a matching set with my Karen Headband pattern!

Want to mix it up and use more than one color? Check out the beautiful job my tester Erin did on her set!
