This cowl is very fun to make and includes a video tutorial on how to make the stitch. There are no color changes in this as the yarn changes colors and makes it look harder to make than it really is. The color work is done for you by this beautiful yarn called Roll With It Tweed by Red Heart. It has blue, teal, purple, and aqua in it, in simply gorgeous colors.

This Cowl has a slight change to it from the video, make a hdc in each cluster, instead of a sc.
I chose a larger crochet hook in size “K” or 6.50 mm, and a large knitting needle in size “50” or 25.0 mm to make this cowl. It works up rather quickly with the thicker yarn and larger size tools.
