Boxy Bulky Cowl
I originally created the Triple Crochet Box Stitch for the Boxy Bulky Cowl. I wanted a longer stitch because I was using a #6 ply Bulky Yarn. I wanted to give the cowl a nice textured stitch that would create a drape to the cowl.
Boxy Bulky Cowl Crochet Pattern
Most cowls are designed for a tighter stitch because most of them are worn to keep the chill out. Since I was using a bulkier yarn, I wanted something that wouldn’t cause the wearer to get too hot.
Special Stitches Triple Crochet: YO twice, insert hook into specified space, YO draw through 2 loops on hook. YO, draw through 2 loops on hook, YO, draw through last 2 loops on hook.

I designed the Ava Cowl Crochet Pattern for my sister’s birthday. I wanted to use 2 colors, because she loves purple.

Today we are making the Small Flower Blossoms I used in my version of the Blooming Flowers Wall Hanging.
Yesterday we made the Viola Flower.
The center of the Small Flower Blossom uses a smaller version of the Viola Flower. The petals are created by using a multiple of stitches in one space around the Viola Flower.
You can find the free version of the Small Blossom Crochet Pattern below.
************************************************
The Small Flower Blossoms Crochet Pattern was a joint effort between me and my Ma when she came for a visit. She was the one who taught me how to crochet over 25 years ago. We were working on a Fall Centerpiece and she wanted flowers to go with it. This crochet design is what we came up with.
The center part of the Small Flower Blossom uses a version my Viola Flower that I used in my Granny Viola Scarf Crochet Pattern. You can find the premium Granny Viola Scarf Crochet Pattern at my Ravelry Store and LoveCrafts.

The Boxy Bulky Cowl Crochet Pattern uses a thicker yarn, 6 ply bulky yarn to create a nice thick, heavy cowl to keep you warm during those chilly times of year. It uses a stitch I designed just for this cowl, the triple crochet box stitch. The stitch I designed creates a nice long stitch to create a beautiful texture.
