Autumn Air Cowl Crochet Along
Learn Tunisian entrelac crochet in the Autumn Air Cowl Crochet Along! We had so much fun learning intermeshing crochet in our last crochet along, that we decided to do another new technique. Join in the fun on the Stitches n Scraps Facebook group!
Entrelac is done one small block at a time. Each block builds off the ones before it, for a seamless construction. If you’re new to Tunisian crochet, this project will be a great introduction to one of the most basic Tunisian stitches – Tunisian simple stitch.

I will be posting the cowl pattern in sections over the course of the crochet along. Each new section will be added to the pattern, so at the end the pattern will be complete.
I will also be posting a few video tutorials for the different parts, and am working on a giveaway prize (or maybe more than 1). Keep reading for details on how to participate and how to enter the giveaway!
This post includes:

Materials
- DK weight yarn:
- 125 yds Rust (A)
- 100 yds Green (B)
- 100 yds Yellow (C)
- Size H / 5 mm hook, or size needed to obtain gauge.
Note: You do not necessarily need to use a tunisian hook, but there should be enough room on the hook before any finger grips to comfortably fit 9 loops / stitches. - Yarn needle
The yarn I used for the sample was Schulana Merino Cotton 135. It’s a DK weight blend of cotton and merino wool, but seems to be discontinued. I have included stitch multiples in the pattern, so you can make adjustments, if you would like to change the size or use a different weight of yarn. Please keep in mind that any changes will affect your yardage as well.

All prizes are subject to change without notice. I may substitute prizes of equal or greater value if needed, at my sole discretion.
3 separate winners will each win one of the 3 prizes. Scroll down for the entry form and giveaway terms. In addition, 2 of the sponsors have provided a coupon code for all of you to use!
Argyle Lamb Kabob from Lickin’ Flames:
Lickin’ Flames is providing one lucky winner with an Argyle Lamb Kabob! There will be 5 colors for the winner to choose from. These 2-pronged pins add so much cuteness to any cowl, shawl, or sweater.
