So to start you want to make a slip knot
so wrap the yarn around your fingers drop the tale behind
reach through grab the tail and there's your nice little loop.
You want to make sure that it's loose enough that you can comfortably wiggle those
two fingers around in there.
If it's too tight you'll be cutting off your circulation and it's not really easy to
move around
and if it's too loose it'll come right off, so
comfortable to move around, not too tight, not too loose.
And to make a chain it's nice and simple
wrap around your fingers, pull it through the loop.
Chain 1. Wrap around your fingers
pull it through the loop. That's two, three
four, we want this to be four stitches wide
and it's single crochet, actually you what one more chain than you want stitches
so that's five chains. So we've got
one, two, three, four
to work into. Go underneath
the top strand of the chain, wrap the yarn around your fingers,
pull through the chain now you've got two big loops.
Wrap the yarn around your fingers again and pull through both
the loops. Now you've just made one
single crochet stitch. You're going to do that in that each of these chains.
Under that top strand of the chain,
yarn over your fingers pull it through.
Now for this step when the two loops are on your fingers sometimes it's tough
to just pull through this way you can trap the yarn between these two
fingers to pull it through
just don't forget to have both have them in to make the loop big enough for the
next stitch.
Under the top strand of the chain, bring up a loop.
Grab the yarn again and pull it through.
Here's the last one, pull up a loop.
Grab the yarn and pull it through, and that's the end of your
first row of single crochet, you can see
the tops of the stitches here. To do the next row, you'll need a turning chain
of one.
So yarn over, and pull through,
and then flip it over to start your next row.
There's the two groups of yarn over the top of the stitch.
You're gonna go under both of those, grab the yarn and pull it up.
Grab the yarn and pull through two. You'll continue that way across, there's
both groups at the top under there
bring up a loop, pull through
two. There's the two
groups at the top. Pull up a loop
pull through two, one more
here at the end. Pull up a loop, pull through
two. That's the end of your second row.
You'll just repeat that second row again and again to get the right length.
Chain 1 turn it over, single crochet in each stitch.
Okay so now that you've got all the rows in we're gonna go ahead and slip stitch
this to
the foundation chain that we began with to form a cowl.
So here's the other end, actually if we flip it over you can see
that's where we started and it's just upside down now so we can
slip stitch this together to form a loop. There's no need for turning chain here
because we're just joining.
So you're going to go in that first stitch and then
in that first foundation chain, grab your yarn
and pull it through both of those and the loop on your fingers.
You can give it a little tug to tighten it up
if it's too loose. Next stitch, next chain
pull the yarn through
everything. Two more.
It goes pretty quick being only four stitches wide.
One more. There's that last stitch, that last chain.
Using your working yarns, pulling through
everything, and
then you can cut your yarn.
Fasten it off and you've got yourself a nice
squishy cowl. You'll just need to weave those ends in.
