  3. Hood: After completing the cowl body, follow the pattern instructions to create the hood. This might involve decreasing stitches at the top for shaping.

  • Practice Cabling: If you’re new to crochet cables, practice on a swatch before starting the main project. This will help you get the hang of the technique.
  • Customize: Feel free to customize your cowl by adding buttons, toggles, or other closures to the front for added style and functionality.
