Using Link Treble Crochet Stitches and combining them with Caron All Day Wool yarn, this pattern is only seven rounds. Each round is very tall and interconnected with the others. This is the Crochet Link Treble Super Fast Cowl pattern.
I was focused on two balls of yarn, one of each colour, to make it work. Sometimes, we don't want overcomplicated and enjoy the stitchwork. Below are tutorials to assist you.
The yarn is a 20% wool with 80% acrylic to make it affordable. It's a super-bulky #6-weight yarn. I prefer my cowls to tuck into my coat without being so cumbersome that they make me look larger than I am. I want options to pull it up to my ears.

Instructions
With A, ch 50. Careful not to twist the chain. Sl st to beg ch to form ring.
Beginning Tip
We are going to begin with link treble crochet immediately along the chain, as it’s a much more compact stitch, and doing regular treble crochet in the first row will ruffle out.
1st rnd: RS. Beg ltr. Ltr in each around. Join. Break A. 50 ltr.
End of Rows Tip
When you end a yarn colour, leave a bit longer so you can use it to whipstitch the gap to close it up.
