Watch this Video Tutorial on Annie’s.
Hdc in 3rd loop at front: work the hdc stitches as usual, the only difference is that you will insert the hook not into the 2 top loops of the stitches, but into the loop under the front loop!
In the first image of the photo collage below, you can see the top of the stitch: back and front loop.
In the second image you can see the 3rd loop, below the front loop where to work the hdc sts.
Watch this Video Tutorial by Maggie’s Crochet to learn how to crochet the hdc in 3rd loop at the front!
The hdc in 3rd loop at the front will be used to create the ribbing.
Gauge: is not critical for this project, but 4 pattern repeats (the zig-zag pattern worked with dtr) in the row = approx. 10 cm (4”)
If you would like a longer cowl, add more sts multiple of 4. For a wider cowl, work more rows.

Cowl Pattern:
Row 1 (right side of work) : 1hdc in 2sc ch from hook and 1 hdc in each of next 4 ch, [sk next 3ch, 1dtr in next ch, work behind the dtr just made 1dc in each of the 3 skipped chains] 7 times, 1 hdc in each of next 5 ch.
Note: To have a nice overall look, please use a constant tension when working the dtr stitches. I have found it works best when having the loop on the hook tight and also doing the yo 3 times tight.

(Using both top loops of last hdc st will prevent having holes at the edge).
Rows 4 - 52: Repeat rows 2 and 3, being careful always on the right side to work behind the dtr and on the wrong side in front of the dtr.
The last row will be worked on the wrong side (as row 2), so that when joined together, the first and last row of the cowl will create a zig- zag (or V when turned 180°).
Fasten off leaving a long tail that will be used to join the short edges of the cowl.
Joining the short edges of cowl:
Turn the piece on the wrong side and fold it in half, so that the foundation chain meets the last row.
I have used my crochet hook to join the edges, but if you prefer, you can sew them together with the mattress stitch.
This is how I made with the crochet hook:
Chain 1.
On the wrong side slip stitch the short sides together this way: Insert the hook through the first chain of the foundation chain and through the front loop of corresponding st on the other side. Yarn over and draw through all loops on hook. Continue the same way along the side.
Cut yarn, fasten off and weave in the ends.
That's it! Admire your beautiful cowl! :)
