Bloomington Cowl

The Bloomington Cowl is a lightweight, cozy accessory with a strinking herringbone texture that looks intricate but is surprisingly easy to crochet. Made with worsted weight 100% alpaca, it’s warm, breathable, and soft against the skin. The drape is elegant without being bulky, making it perfect for everyday wear or gifting.

With both charted and fully written instructions included—and professionally tested and tech-edited—you’ll crochet with confidence as the herringbone pattern takes shape. There's a video tutorial, also!

Instructions are given separately for the gauge swatch

This is a wonderful one-skein project for your soft alpaca yarn!
