Rugged Slopes Cowl Crochet Pattern

Jo’s Crafty Hook Designs is bringing you another free crochet pattern, the Rugged Slopes Cowl.  The Rugged Slopes Cowl Crochet Pattern has a matching hat, the Rugged Slopes Messy Bun & Beanie which you can find here on my website.

This page contains affiliate links.  You can make a purchase using these links that I provide where I may receive compensation (at no added cost to you.)  Purchases you make will help keep my website and pattern stores going and provide quality designs just for you!

The Rugged Slopes Cowl also uses the Sedge Stitch, which is a new stitch I learned not that long ago.  I love learning new stitches and I hope you do too!  I currently learned how to do the Celtic Weave, the Crunch Stitch, the N Stitch and more.  This year has opened so many new things that I never tried before.  You can read more about some of the new things I have tried here on my website.
