Introduction

Welcome to this crochet tutorial where I will be showing you how to create a beautiful Outlander-inspired cowl. This project is perfect for beginners as it is easy to follow and requires minimal crochet skills. By the end of this tutorial, you will have a cozy and stylish accessory that you can proudly wear.

Materials Needed

To complete this project, you will need the following materials:

• Soda Adventure yarn (or any similar super chunky yarn)
• 12mm crochet hook
• Scissors
• Tapestry needle

Getting Started

Before we dive into the crochet process, make sure you have all your materials ready. Once you have gathered everything, it's time to start the project.

Row 1: Creating the Foundation Chain

To begin, create a slipknot with your yarn and secure it onto your crochet hook. Now, chain 16 stitches. Each chain should be made by looping the yarn over the hook and pulling it through.

Row 2: Half Double Crochet in Back Loops Only

In this row, we will be creating the ribbed look of the cowl by working into the back loops only. To start, chain 2, which will count as your first half double crochet. Turn your work so that you are now working on the opposite side.

Next, insert your hook into the second stitch from the hook, making sure to go through the back loop only. Yarn over and pull up a loop, then complete the half double crochet by yarning over again and pulling through all three loops on the hook. Repeat this process in each stitch, working only into the back loop.

Repeat Row 2

Continue working row 2 for all subsequent rows. Remember to chain 2 at the beginning of each row and work into the back loop only. This repetition will create the desired ribbed effect for your cowl. Keep working until you have approximately 66 rows or until your cowl reaches the desired length.

Stitching the Cowl Together

Once you have completed all the rows, it's time to stitch the cowl together. Leave a long tail of yarn for sewing. Use a tapestry needle to carefully sew the two ends of the cowl together using a mattress stitch. Be gentle, especially if you are working with thick yarn.

Finishing Touches

After stitching the cowl together, weave in any loose ends to give your project a clean and polished look. Take a moment to inspect your cowl for any adjustments or final touches it may need.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully completed your Outlander-inspired cowl. You now have a beautiful and cozy accessory to add to your winter wardrobe. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and found it helpful. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to reach out. Happy crocheting!
