Materials fee: No materials fee for this workshop.

Materials supplied by teacher: Instructor will provide the cowl pattern, terminology instructions and helpful links.

Materials students should bring: 

 Crochet hook in size 6mm/J – you may find it cost effective to buy
a set especially if you plan to crochet more. I like the type with the foam handle – a bit easier on the hands!
 Small scissors
 Measuring tape
 Darning or yarn needle to work in the ends when finished
 A bag to tote all your precious work

Yarn for the cowl:
 Worsted weight yarn (4) – a soft yarn in a light color (As a beginner, please avoid dark colors as it is very difficult to see your stitches) approx. 200 yds will make a nice length cowl. For your first project you should look for an inexpensive acrylic - possibly one that says no pill or low pill
