Love those Cowls @CraftyIrish !  I will have to have a good look at that pattern to see if it's easy enough for me.  It would be lovely for the winter.

Many, many thanks for the link!

I've just had a quick look @CraftyIrish , and it looks very do-able.  I'm actually just finishing the border on a Corner to corner baby blanket, and the border on that uses the same method - looks like a sideways knit stitch.

I will certainly post pics - I need to find some suitable yarn first... ;)

They look knitted.  I don't crochet.  Do you do the strips separately, like an octopus then plait them before doing the end tab?
Life's too short for ironing.

You crochet the first one then add chains on and continue once you have 4 long strands, then join the for tabs together. You then braid it and join them together.
