Sedimentary, my Dear Watson Cowl

I know it’s a capital mistake to theorize before one has data but I think this just might become your first crochet project. Learn the crochet basics and with a little practice you’ll be running circles around this cowl — but to a great mind, nothing is little! This pattern is available free on Ravelry, and also the foundation of our Learn to Crochet classes 😉. And you know my methods, Watson; it’s seamless and works up speedily in one skein of DK yarn.
