Secret Garden Neck Warmer (Cowl)

"Cowls and neck warmers are quick, easy projects to crochet as they typically work up in an evening or two. From the lacy stitches to the delicate petals on the ties, this is one accessory that fills the void between winter and spring fashions perfectly. The stitch pattern on this cowl changes every round keeping the piece fresh and interesting to make. You'll want to be familiar with making shells, clusters, cross-stitches and working in the 3rd loop of a half-double crochet. Each stitch is explained in the pattern or pattern notes. Since everyone's style is slightly different I've also included some pattern notes for modifying the look of this design."

NotesLook in the "Additional Notes" section of the pattern for instructions on turning this into an infinity scarf.
