SIMPLY CROCHET CHRISTMAS COWL...original design

Do you remember the Simply Crochet cowl I did for Christmas 2017, in a beautiful 

Debbie Bliss yarn

Well....still sorting through loads of samples I found the original design its been made in 3 colours of Wendy Aurora 

This was the original design from 2017, i adapted to the yarn requirements of the Simply Crochet Christmas Cowl project, 

basically its US terms here.....the Golden 3 row pattern made into a 6 square, triangle for the ends of the scarf, with a 6 stitch ripple, miss 3sts, for bottom turn, and 2dc, ch2, 2dc, for the top turn.

Love the strong Colours in the 3 balls of Aurora i used.
