A Crochet Cowl in Autumn tones.

This is a nice easy cowl that can be worked up in as little as 3 hours if you're experienced. There are two stitches in this, the chain stitch (Ch/ch) and the treble crochet (TC/tc). The slip stitch (SL/sl) may also be used. Here's the list of equipment I used.

• Berroco Circus Bulky Weight yarn 350 oz / 136 yds 
• A J or 6.0 mm hook
• A tapestry needle,
• A pair of snips or small scissors.

Foundation Chain: Ch 35 [take care that your tension is neither too tight nor too loose].
Row 1) TR in 5th ch from hook Skip 1 ch and TR in next ch across. CH 4 & turn.
All other rows) *Skip ch, TR in next TR across, Ch 4 & turn.*
Repeat from * to * for as long as you want your cowl to be and/or your yarn will allow. To finish off you can either,
Slip stitch every stitch of the end and beginning together, tie off and weave the ends in, or
Leave a very long tail and sew the beginning row to the end row. And, of course, weave the end in.
which ever you prefer and is most comfortable for you. Mine (pictured above) is roughly 38 inches long which makes it loose enough to use for a hood if you need to.I think that I'll make my next one not quite twice as long so that I can double wrap it if it's really chilly.
This is a good project for beginners to treble crochet, as the main stitch is TC so you get really used to them. It's also just an easy pattern for when you don't want to have to think too hard.  I had a bit of trouble with increasing stitches about half way through and had to carefully reduce byt the same amount of stitches to make it look even ... and that's what happens when you crochet and don't think at all. That I do not recommend.
