Final Step!
You’re nearly done! Just a few more hours of crocheting left. This week we will add the cowl neck to the hood. Technically, you could crochet this false-ribbed cowl section without the hood. It’s quite basic.

In part 1 we did the foundation rows up to row 29. Part 2 was rows 30 – 58. Now that we have a hood we will create the cowl neck.
I used white as the Main Color (MC) for my interlocking crochet sample of Winter Trees Hooded Cowl.
The Cowl
I chose to use my dark color for the cowl neck, but you can use the lighter color or a completely different color!
First, turn your hat upside down. We will join our yarn at any point around the neck of the hood EXCEPT where the sides meet at your chin.
Attaching to Hood
Create one round of double crochet stitches, join with a slip stitch.
You need to have an even number of DC stitches in this first round. If you need to adjust, make the cowl one stitch smaller than the hood.
Lengthening the Cowl
For the rest of the rounds, do *2 FPDC, 2 BPDC* all the way around. Join with a slip stitch at the end of each round. Front post stitches will have front post stitches attached to them. You are creating long ridges.
I did 14 rounds, but you can make the cowl any length.
Weave in any ends and you’re done!
I prefer to wear mine with the cowl part up inside the hood, covering my chin and mouth, but you can also keep it down around your neck if that’s where you need the warmth.

The Cowl
I chose to use my dark color for the cowl, but you can use the lighter color or a completely different color!
First, turn your hat upside down. We will join our yarn at any point around the neck of the hood EXCEPT where the envelope border meets at your chin.
Follow video tutorial for this step.
Attaching to Hood
Create one round of double crochet stitches, join with a slip stitch. You may find it difficult to determine which stitches to join to when you reach the envelope border brim that goes around your face. If you did single crochet stitches for the envelope you will do one DC per round. If you did a double crochet envelope border, do two DCs per round.
I had 7 rounds of SC on my envelope border, so I did 7 DC across the envelope for the beginning of my cowl. I joined the two sides of the envelope border with one DC and then did 7 more DC on the envelope border at the other side of the face opening.
You need to have an even number of DC stitches in this first round. If you need to adjust, make the cowl one stitch smaller than the hood.
Lengthening the Cowl
For the rest of the rounds, do *2 FPDC, 2 BPDC* all the way around. Join with a slip stitch at the end of each round. Front post stitches will have front post stitches attached to them. You are creating long ridges.
I did 15 rounds, but you can make the cowl any length.
