The Stardust Sparkle Cowl is a light and simple project made with Scheepjes Stardust yarn and a 3.25 mm (D) crochet hook. The project uses basic stitches and chain spaces to create a soft drape and a gentle shimmer through the fabric. You can keep it as a cowl, or customize the length to make a scarf or shawl. It is easy to adjust, and you can work until the yarn runs out.
You will find the full written pattern below.
I hope you enjoy making this sparkly and soft project.
