Assembly

Join the squares into a rectangle 2 squares by 4 squares by single crocheting them together. Alternate the sides you crochet together to get a patchwork motif, as above. With the sc join on the inside, sc the ends together to create a loop and cowl shape.

Crocheting two squares together.

Fringe

Add on a five-inch long fringe to the bottom edge of your cowl, keeping with the color pattern. I added 10 tassels per side of square.

And you are finished! Roll the top edge over to create a double-layered warm cowl that stays under your chin, or pull it up to cover your nose on those super cold mornings.
