Free Tunisian Crochet Cowl Pattern

I recently completed the Tunisian Full Stitch Cowl, and it holds a special place in my heart. Tunisian crochet was one of the first crafts my grandma taught me, and it brings back fond memories of our time spent together. There’s something uniquely satisfying about the way the stitches stack in this technique, creating a plush, cozy fabric perfect for winter.

The cowl itself is not only stylish but also incredibly warm, making it an essential accessory for chilly days. I love how I can wear it in different ways—wrapped snugly around my neck or draped casually over my shoulders.

Every time I wear this cowl, I feel connected to my grandma and the love she instilled in me for crochet. It’s more than just a piece of clothing; it’s a reminder of our bond and the joy of creating something beautiful with my own hands. If you’re a fan of Tunisian crochet or just looking for a cozy project, I highly recommend checking out the Tunisian Full Stitch Cowl. You’ll love it as much as I do!
