Tunisian Lattice Cowl

Tunisian Lattice Cowl by Noorain Nizami

What Is Being Made

The Tunisian Lattice Cowl is a textured neck accessory designed in both child and adult sizes. The adult cowl measures 21 to 24 inches long by 7 inches wide, while the child size is 20 inches long by 4 inches wide. This cowl is an ideal winter accessory that combines warmth with an attractive lattice texture.

Craft and Technique

This project uses Tunisian crochet, a hybrid technique that combines elements of traditional crochet and knitting. Tunisian crochet creates a denser, more fabric-like texture than standard crochet while remaining accessible to beginners. The pattern is classified as beginner skill level, making it suitable for those new to Tunisian crochet techniques.

Stitches Used

The primary stitch featured in this cowl is the Tunisian lattice stitch. This stitch creates an open, textured pattern that is both visually interesting and structurally sound. The gauge for this pattern is 14 stitches over 7 rows in Tunisian lattice stitch, measured over a 4 by 4 inch square.

Materials and Tools

Hook and Notions: A Size 17 (12.0 mm) Tunisian crochet hook with an 8-inch cord is required. Additional notions include a yarn needle, scissors, and a measuring tape for checking finished dimensions.
