The Dido Cowl begins at a bottom point and grows upward in an unusual Tunisian crochet stitch pattern. Increases create a graceful V-shaped front that tucks cozily into your favorite jacket. Chain stitches extend the fabric around the nape of your neck before the cowl is seamed closed with slip stitches. Reverse single crochet edges the top and bottom for a polished finish.
