DIGITAL CROCHET PATTERN
20% of the proceeds of this pattern will go to the American Civil Liberties Union in memory of the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg so they can continue the fight to uphold our civil rights
From the day of Justice Ginsburg’s death on September 18, 2020 through Election Day on November 3, 2020, the usual 20% donation was increased to 100% in RBG’s memory. During this time, between the knitted and crocheted versions of this pattern, we raised a total of $41,152.10 for the ACLU!
This top-down, flared cowl was inspired by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s famous (and fabulous) collar, worn when she dissented from a decision by the Supreme Court.
The upper section is a simple polka dot linen stitch, followed by a band of puff stitches. The lower section is separated into polka dot linen stitch in the back with the “bejeweled” bib in the front. Increases are worked into the bib portion, so the “jewels” get larger as you work downward, which gives the cowl its flared shape.
