I’ve been working with the moss stitch and using the double crochet chain space as a combination with a number of patterns lately and the first one I stitched up is this quick and easy cowl that uses a lightweight yarn to make a beautiful fabric in the finished look.
This cowl will be the 1st in a series of patterns coming out using this stitch combo.
This cowl is easy to make, you only need to know the single crochet and double crochet stitches, so it is a great pattern for beginners looking for a way to combine stitches to get a nice texture fabric.
There is also a video tutorial for this free crochet cowl pattern to help you along in case you run into any issues.

Important Note About Last Single Crochet of the Moss Stitch Rounds
When completing the last single crochet stitch of the round you will see that the last chain space is divided into two, always put the last stitch into the part of the chain space that is closest to the starting stitch of the round. This will help with blending in the seam of the cowl.
