Learn to crochet this quick and easy crochet cowl in as little as a couple days! This crochet cowl not only keeps your neck warm but with the added bonus of having a hood, you will surely be nice and toasty during the months ahead.

This crochet hooded cowl is perfect for those who want to crochet something but don’t want to commit to something as big as a sweater or cardigan. Designed with simple crochet stitches that give beautiful texture, this crochet cowl would make a great addition to your winter accessory “wardrobe”.

CONSTRUCTION

This crochet cowl pattern uses simple single and double crochets and when these two stitches are paired together they give a beautiful texture to the cowl. Firstly we will work on the neck piece by crocheting in the round. If you want to make the neck piece bigger or more snug you will simply add/subtract your foundation chains making sure the end number is a multiple of 2. We will then continue to work in the round until we reach a certain amount of rows. The number of rows you crochet will determine the height of the cowl. Once we are happy with the cowl height we will fasten off and begin working on the hood section. Here we will be working flat and making two separate yet identical pieces. After a certain amount of rows we will do some decreasing before we eventually seam these two pieces together.

Lastly we will seam the hood section to the cowl and then do a row of single crochet around the circumference of the hood.

YARN

For this cowl I used one strand of Hobbii Friends Extra Fine Merino and one strand of Hobbii Friends Kid Silk. The combination of both these yarns give a really nice drape and are super soft to the touch making them perfect for a piece like this. The merino is a sport weight while the kid silk is a lace weight. I thoroughly enjoyed using these two together. The kid silk gives the cowl and beautiful halo and I’m all for it.

If you plan to make this crochet hooded cowl but don’t want to use two separate strands I would recommend just one strand of a Dk but please always watch your gauge!

    This is a great pattern. However after completing the cowl section I realised I should have been turning my work after every round – can you please add this to the instructions?

    I know ads make you money as an affiliate, but they are very annoying when trying to follow the pattern inst.
