Pattern Instructions
Ch 20
Row 1: In third chain from hook, Dc. Dc across. (18)
Row 2-21: Ch 2, turn. Dc across. (18)
Row 22: Now, fold your work and slip st into both sides to attach.
You will now end up with a full-sized cowl
Now that you have this done, along the brim, you will have 42 spaces to Dc into. Along the top of the cowl, you will be doing a *sc 6, Inc* sequence around, sl st to join. You will be ending with 48 stitches. (This will be considered Rnd 1)
You will want to attach your new yarn to the front side of the cowl where you didn’t seam up, to avoid having the seamed-up portion facing forward on the finished piece! Seen down below:
Rnd 2: Ch 2. Dc into first stitch, Dc into next 6 stitches, Inc. *Dc 7, Inc, repeat from * (54)
Rnd 3: Ch 2. Dc into first stitch, Dc into next 7 stitches, Inc. *Dc 8, Inc, repeat from * (60)
If you are changing colors, Switch to Color B

Rnd 5: Ch 2, turn. Dc into first stitch, Dc into next 9 stitches, Inc. *Dc 10, Inc, repeat from * (72)
It will be creating this split between both sides:

Seaming it through the cloak:
To begin, pull the long cord underneath the two sides:
Now, going to the opposite end, you will be skipping one row and inserting it into the following after. (Seen below)
Above shows that one row is skipped each time!
Continue that same process all the way down, alternating between both ends.
It’ll begin to look like this:
And there you go! Your cloak is done and should add some extra warmth to your outfits when it gets cold outside. They’re hard not to notice when you walk out in public, so be excited to explain you made this yourself! I hope you have fun with the pattern and want to recreate more – I had a blast making these!
