Rusalka Cowl

Rusalka is a mermaid of Slavic myths. The stitch I used to make this cowl reminds me of long, wavy and lush water-nymph’s hair which is why I gave it this name.

The pattern is written using American crochet terms.

You are likely to find it a very easy project once you get the hang of slip stitch crochet .
