I bought a Tunisian (also knows as an Afghan hook) crochet hook months ago and have been waiting for the perfect project inspiration to come along! When I was designing this Tunisian crochet cowl I wanted it to be simple but also beautiful at the same time.

This simple cowl is an easy project once you get first few rows finished since it uses an easy stitch repeat the whole length of this cowl. Learn more about the cowl pattern and about how to Tunisian crochet below.

The Yarn for a Tunisian Crochet Pattern

I wasn’t quite sure what I was going to use this Tunisian crochet hook for but as soon as I saw the Lion Brand Heartland yarn at my local yarn store I knew exactly what I was going to design with it.

I chose two beautiful colors called Acadia & Yosemite which are inspired by National Parks and Landmarks. The way these colors make the crochet stitches look amazing!

I loved how soft the yarn was (you will too!) and knew it would make a perfect crochet cowl. You could also turn this into a Tunsian scarf too if you’d prefer that style instead.

I used two different colors for my cowl, but you do not have to do this. You can just use one color to make it easier.
If you decide to switch colors after each row 1 and row part 2. You just let it hang no need to cut it. You can just pull it up the side when you need to use it again
