Ava Cowl Crochet Pattern

Ava Cowl Crochet Pattern

I designed the Ava Cowl Crochet Pattern for my sister’s birthday.  I wanted to use 2 colors, because she loves purple.  The crochet pattern mainly uses double crochet stitch, but I wanted to add an extra flair, so I added the long double crochet stitch.  I used a contrasting color for the long double crochet rows for the extra flair.  

In today’s post you will find a free crochet pattern for the Ava Cowl for size 12-24 months.  You can purchase a premium copy of the Ava Cowl Crochet Pattern that contains instructions for all 7 sizes.  

You can find a premium copy of Ava Cowl Crochet Pattern at my Ravelry Store or LoveCrafts.
