Classic Cowl Crochet Pattern

I’ve always adored those classic, staple items that make up every wardrobe. However, recently I realized my collection was short one item. A lovely, yet classic cowl.
So, to help my creative juices start flowing, I bought some stunning red wool, before getting to work designing my new cowl.
I hope you all enjoy the new pattern!

What You’ll Need
12.00mm Crochet Hook -OR- 10.00mm Crochet Hook
  300g Super Bulky Yarn {14ply}

Scissors

Tapestry/Wool Needle

Finished Size:

Roughly 42 inches around and 12 inches wide.

{Note: This all depends on how loosely or tightly you crochet.}

Start of by taking your super bulky yarn and 12.00mm crochet hook and making a Slip Knot, then crochet 55 Chains.
{Note: If you chose to use a 10.00mm crochet hook instead of a 12.00mm hook, you’ll need to crochet 75 Chains as your hook is smaller. I used a 12.00mm crochet hook.}
Row 1~ Chain 2, Crochet 1 Half Double Crochet into the fourth chain from your hook. Then crochet 1 Half Double Crochet into every chain stitch all across. 
Row 2 – 14~ Chain 2, Crochet 1 Half Double Crochet into the next stitch. Then crochet 1 Half Double Crochet into every stitch all across.
{Note: If you chose to use a 10.00mm crochet hook instead of a 12.00mm hook then you’ll need to crochet 4 extra rows. Once you’ve added the 4 extra rows, measure the width of your cowl. If the width is less than 12 inches, continue adding extra rows till it reaches the required width.}

When you’ve completed all the rows, connect the two ends of the scarf
together to create a circle {thus a circle scarf}. Be sure to add half a twist once before Slip Stitching the two ends together.
Fasten off, and weave in loose ends.

 I hope you all enjoyed this pattern!
If you did crochet this, please post a photo of your creation onto my Facebook Page.
I’d love to see it!

 Have a lovely day crocheting!

    Is 12 mm a size "P"? This is a really lovely pattern and I want very much to make this cowl, but don't hold out much hope for finding a 14 ply yarn around here….maybe I could triple a 4 ply and use a "Q" hook?

    Hello,
    I keep coming up short chains 🙁 Is the Ch 3 considered a stitch?
    Thank you!

    Hello!
    I am new to crochet and have a question about this lovely pattern. I assume you are crocheting in the round. In that case, I am wondering more about how to attach the chain into a circle once you are done your starting 55 chains. You say to hdc into the 4th chain, but wouldn’t this leave 3 chains hanging lose at the start of the scarf? Thank you!
