Rows 7-33: Repeat Rows 5 and 6 ending with a repeat of Row 5 (36 sts)
(Continue these 2 rows until the piece is half of your back measurement, my back is 20 inches across, so ending on Row 33 for me was 10 inches across) Once you have your piece as wide as you need it go onto the next row instructions.

Rows 34-49: SC in each st across, ch 1, turn. (36 sts)
For first piece, Fasten off, for second piece, DO NOT fasten off, go onto the next row and attach the two pieces to continue up the back.

Rows 51-93: SC in each st across, ch 1, turn.
Make this as long as you need it to get up to your armpit. (See video tutorial for visual instructions)

Rows 3-22: Repeat Row 2
(you can continue to make this longer if you want, just to your armpit section–see video tutorial for visual instructions)

Row 23: Ch 2, DC2TOG, *Sk 1 st, DC in next, DC in Sk’d st, repeat from * until 2 sts remain, DC2TOG, turn.

Round 2: Ch 2, Sk 2 sts, DC in next st, DC in ONE of the sk’d sts leaving the other one unworked, [Sk next st, DC in next, DC in sk’d st] repeat these Criss-Cross sts until halfway around the armhole (top of shoulder), Sk 2 sts, DC in next, DC in ONE of the sk’d sts leaving the other one unworked, [Sk next st, DC in next, DC in sk’d st] repeat these Criss-Cross sts until the end of the round, sl st to beginning DC, turn.

Round 3: Ch 2, Sk 3 sts, DC in next DC in ONE of the sk’d sts, [Sk next st, DC in next, DC in sk’d st] repeat these Criss-Cross sts until halfway around the armhole (top of shoulder), Sk 3 sts, DC in next, DC in ONE of the sk’d sts leaving the other ones unworked, [Sk next st, DC in next, DC in sk’d st] repeat these Criss-Cross sts until the end of the round, sl st to beginning DC, turn.

Rounds 13-21: Ch 2, *Sk next st, DC in next st, DC in sk’d st, repeat from * around, sl st to first st, turn.

Crochet Tutorial: Steampunk and Stars Cowl

Crochet Tutorial: Steampunk and Stars Cowl
steam·punk: /ˈstēmˌpəNGk/ noun — a style of design and fashion that combines historical elements with anachronistic technological features inspired by science fiction.

This Steampunk and Stars Cowl has me feeling fierce! This design includes elements like buttons, cogs, chains, and leather to add to the steampunk fashion feel. I was working to achieve a more edgy design by adding asymmetry.

Change this look up by eliminating or replacing the buttons with other embellishments. Add fringe to both sides. Change the yarn color for an entirely different look. Bright colors would add whimsy whereas dark colors would add edge.
