The Lemon Peel Crochet Cowl is a fun, easy crochet project for a beginner. If you want a cozy crochet cowl that works up quickly check out the pattern. In addition to this begin a quick and easy crochet project, the crochet cowl can be customized to fit anyone. You can vary this project by adding or subtracting rows. Make it thinner by creating a smaller foundation chain.
As with many of my projects, creating can be done in many different ways. Learning how to crochet should be a relaxing process but it can take time to develop a technique that works best for you. My goal is to show you how to create beautiful crochet projects from a beginner’s perspective.
