I strongly suggest adding the revised SC Border now, but you may choose to use the simple SC Border or add no border at all.

SC Border

Chain 1, put 2 sc in each gap on all four sides. Add an extra chain 2 space in each corner (corner gap will have 2sc, 2ch, 2sc).

Revised SC border

Chain 1, put 1 sc in the MC gap, and then the second sc should pick up one loop of the AC as well as going through the MC gap. Do this in each gap on all four sides. Add an extra chain 2 on the corners.

Creating the Hood

Fold this rectangle in half and, using a whip stitch, sew the top together.

That’s it for now!

The cowl addition will be published in section 3 on November 7, 2022.

I used white as the Main Color (MC) for my interlocking crochet sample of Winter Trees Hooded Cowl.

Creating the Hood

Hood has been sewn at the top but there’s still work to do!

Time to add an envelope border

I suggest you use a single crochet stitch for this project. My YouTube tutorial shows double crochet stitches worked in a square around a blanket (https://youtu.be/P-uXHjwTFeE). This project is slightly differnt.

This video shows how I do an envelope border around one end of a project: https://youtu.be/VGah43YCxAw

I did 7 rounds of single crochet after my initial surface crochet round. You may prefer a wider brim – it’s all up to you!

That’s it for now!
