Materials needed for the Ribbed Triangle Cowl
Start your neck warmer project, you will need a skein of yarn. For this project, a worsted medium-weight yarn (Category 4) is what is needed.
1 skein of Lion Brand Heartland yarn was used in the pink sample. Lion Brand Wool Ease or We Crochet Swish Worsted Weight may also work well. Substituting a different yarn you may need more than 1 skein, just check the yardage label.
You will also need a crochet hook that matches the gauge within the pattern with your tension. To make sure your cowl looks as close to the sample as possible, be sure to crochet a gauge swatch and match the gauge within the pattern.
If gauge is off then that is when you can try a different size crochet hook than what is stated. Need help understanding gauge and adjusting it, then view this resource post all about gauge.
