Dual Colored Braided Cowl

The braided technique featured in this pattern LOOKS more complicated than it actually is. This technique can be worked for many patterns in one or many colors to create texture and lots of fun color combinations. In this pattern, it is two colors to emphasize the braid color changing. The overall pattern is straightforward and it is basically working stripes with loops added in the last row of that color section. Then the loops are “braided” together prior to the second last row. If a cowl (which is perfect for spring and could also be worn slightly pulled over the shoulders!) is not desired, a pillow cover is a great alternative option. Happy Crocheting! ~Lauren
