For this Seashell Summer Cowl Crochet Pattern is less than 1 skein of DK weight yarn, making it a light summer accessory. This cowl is an asymmetrical style wrap, then the ends are sewn together to make this comfortable and easy to wear cowl. I purchased this beautiful hand dyed yarn from KT and the Squid! It’s so summer and beachy that I new the shell stitch would be the perfect match.

I bought your seashell cowl pattern on revelry. A couple of things in the pattern are confusing to me. Please clarify: 1) rows 5, 6, 7, 8 do not say to turn. Should I? I always do in other projects but wasn’t sure if it’s accurate here. 2) is the pattern starting at the back of neck/top? 3) in row 6, it says “skip ch 2.” Does that mean skip ch 2 space, as in row 8? Thank you.
Hi! Yes, you should turn in every row. The pattern starts at the back of the neck. Yes, in row 6 skip the ch 2 space.
Super confused about this pattern. Looks nothing like the picture. Is there a step by step or pictorial.
Not right now, sorry! What is your question?
