Rev A SIZING One Size Approx 32” Circumference and 7” tall PROJECT NOTES YARN Note on Yarn Substitution: The featured yarn in this pattern, Feza 3N, is SUPER bulky. It’s HUGE. If you are looking for substitutes, you could always hold a ton of stash yarn strands together to get the same gauge. You could also tear an old sweatshirt up into strips and knit with those. You could even take roving and knit directly with that. It’s fun to experiment with unconventional materials when working this big. 32 Yards Super Bulky Yarn Feza 3N (97% Australian Wool, 3% Lycra, 17 yds / 150 gm) in color 56 Great Dane. 2 Skeins HOOKS / NEEDLES Size V (28 mm) knitting needles OR SIZE REQUIRED TO OBTAIN GAUGE GAUGE Approx 2.5 sts = 4” in St st Superchunk Instant Crochet Cowl | Page 2 Construction Overview: What could be simpler?

Round 1: Starting in the 3rd ch from the hook, double crochet in the back hump of each chain across, slip stitch to the top of the chain-3 created at the start of the round. Do not turn - 18 sts Round 2: Chain 3 (counts as first double crochet), double crochet in the back loop of the first double crochet and in the back loop of each double crochet around. Slip stitch to top of chain-3. Cut yarn leaving an 8” tail - 18 sts Use starting and ending tails to weave stitches at the start/end of rounds together, then weave in ends.
