Granny Square Inspired Cowl

This is a pattern I pieced together, last year!

The scarf in the picture is made with 150grams of chunky weight wool.

the circumference is 125cm (49") and consists of 15 rows, including the foundation and final row.

Note: This pattern used UK crochet terminology and worked in the round.

Foundation

Foundation Single Crochet (FSC), in multiples of 3, to a length long enough to comfortably wrap around twice. 

Join the chain, to make a loop, with a slip stitch.

The best explanation for FSC, I have found, is here.

Row 1

Chain 2 and in the same stitch 2 treble crochet, Chain 1, *in the third stitch from the previous treble, 3 treble crochet in to stitch, Chain 1*, repeat * to end & join with 3 slip stitch along the first set of treble's.

Row 2 to ∞ (or desired width!)

Chain 2 and in the same gap (between sets of trebles) 2 treble crochet, Chain 1, *3 treble crochet in to the next gap, Chain 1*, repeat * to end & join as Row 1.
These stitches should resemble the rounds in a granny square (but with no corners!)

Last Row

Double crochet in each stitch, join with slip stitch. 

Now tie off and weave in ends. 

The best thing about the pattern is it can be converted to any wool weight. 

As long as you chain in multiples of 3, you're away. 

A LOT of family and friends have received these as Christmas presents & everyone has loved them!
