Infinity Crochet Cowl Neckwarmer – Bead and Lace
This crochet cowl neck warmer pattern is worked on both sides like an infinity cowl. Thus, it’s got both the right and wrong sides showing up on the same side. It looks great to have both sides showing. However, I crocheted mine nice and tall so you can fold it over so only the right side shows.
The stitch pattern is an easy multiple of two, so you can easily crochet this to any length that you like. It’s given in a teen/adult size, but can be adjusted for toddlers and up. It might even look great as an oversized cowl or wrap.
The yarn used is Red Heart Super Saver, a worsted-weight yarn, but feel free to experiment with a chunky or DK. You might also be interested in this crochet chunky cowl, or check out the main category for crochet cowls.

I love your patterns. I am a computer illiterate, though, and when my printer is out of ink, I do not know how to save them so I can print them later. I only print one copy, and carry it with me in a plastic notebook sleeve in my project bag. That way, using a china marking pen, I can check off the rows as I work them and when the project is done, I can wipe the check marks off with a tissue and reuse the sleeve for the next project. Can you tell me how to save them or download them or whatever the correct term is, so that I can print them at a later date? Thank you–Rikki Churchman
Hi Rikki, I’m not sure if this varies from browser to browser or not… but in Chrome, after you hit print there is a panel on the left-hand side of the screen where you can change your destination. Hit “change” and select to “save as PDF”. Let me know if that works for you or not. Thanks so much. :)
I love this cowl…very nice i know you said that we can use bulky yarn which i plan to do but if i use a no 9mm hook , should i go with the 81 chains at the beginning or would it be too big …i was thinking of starting with 61 chains …i really like the lenght on the picture (top one) thanx..
Sorry, everyone has a different preference, so my only advice is to try it and see how many chains you prefer. :) It’s best to measure again after you do a few rounds as it can be hard to tell with the chains sometimes.
Hi, for the Bead & Lace Infinity Cowl yarn needed, is it one 7oz skein of Red Heart Super Saver Yarn or 17oz of Red Heart Super Saver Yarn? Thanks so much. I love all of your patterns. :) <3
Sorry for that. You need one 7oz ball. I’m working on updating patterns for better clarity.
