Free Crochet Cowl Pattern
A cowl is a type of cozy neck warmer that’s similar to a scarf but forms a loop. You wear it around your neck to keep warm. Unlike a scarf, you don’t have to worry about tying or adjusting it.
Cowls can be snug or loose and are perfect for adding a stylish touch to your outfit while keeping you warm on chilly days. They’re super easy to wear and great for layering under coats and jackets.
Crochet Project Materials Needed
- Crochet hook size: P-15 10 mm crochet hook
- Yarn: Super Bulky yarn #6/chunky yarn. I used 2 skeins of Lion Brand Yarns Wool Ease Thick & Quick in the color Carousel.
- Yarn needle: Use this to weave in your ends.
- Scissors: Use scissors to fasten off your yarn.
- Stitch marker(s): These are great for beginners. They help to keep track of your stitches.
