Cowl Scarf With Floral Edge

CJ Brady / Ravelry

Usually, a scarf has two ends and you wrap it around your neck. A cowl, on the other hand, is a single circle you can wear around your neck. This crochet scarf somewhat sits in between a traditional scarf and a cowl— in a way, it's almost like a shawlette. Whatever you want to call it, the delicate design with the asymmetrical floral edge is a beautiful addition to any outfit.
