Craft on the cross grain with this fun bandana cowl and scarf, both worked sideways and shaped with increases and decreases. This is the perfect introduction to Hybrid Crochet, also known as Tunisian Crochet, which is crocheted with a long hook, each row containing a forward pass and a return pass. This pattern incorporates two of the basic stitch patterns, mostly the simple stitch, with the knit stitch to create a smooth top edge. It is easily adaptable to different sizes and weights of yarn and finished dimensions.  

This is a beginner project which is a good introduction to hybrid crochet, and there are videos to help you. The instructions are both written out and charted.
