How to crochet into the 3rd loop in the round...

Please watch video above it you are not familiar with crocheting in the 3rd loop!

Pattern:

1. ch 90. join with first ch to form big loop making sure ch is straight around and not twisted.  loop should go over your head nicely.  if you want the cowl to be more snug, ch 80. if you want the cowl to have a looser fit, ch 100.  Cowls modeled in my photos are ch 100. ch 1.

2. sc around. join in the ch 1. (chains do NOT count as stitches BUT where I join at the end of each round).
