Blossom Stitch Hooded Cowl Scarf Crochet Pattern

The blossom stitch hooded cowl scarf crochet pattern is the perfect addition to your winter wardrobe. It is given in a small size for adults, but you can easily adjust both the width and length as needed. Thus, you can use this pattern to whip up a small cowl for a toddler or to make an oversized cowl for adults.

Depending on how long you make it, you can wear it as a scarf or as a cozy neck cowl over a big winter jacket. In transitional weather, it might be all you need with a sweater as an extra layer of warmth.

Another option is to wear it over the head as a hooded scarf. I made my cowl rather wide because I plan on wearing it as a hood. If you want to just wear it as a regular cowl or scarf, then you can reduce the width if you like.

This hooded cowl pattern is a mindless free crochet pattern and makes for a great gift idea during the cold winter months.

It is shown in a solid color, but don’t be afraid to experiment with colors. You can add stripes throughout or just a few stripes along what edges if you like. Or, do a color block!

Cowl Scarf Crochet Pattern Information

Materials

• Yarn: Lion Brand Yarns – Pound Of Love (Medium, #4; 100% Acrylic; 1020yds/932m; 16oz./454g) Color: Oxford Grey, 1 ball
• Hook Size: J 6.00mm

Measurements

• Gauge: 13 sts/chs = 4″
• Finished Size: 60″ circumference by 11″ wide. Note: It is a snug fit if used as a hooded cowl. Increase the Foundation round in multiples of 4 if you want it to be looser.

Displayed here on a small adult mannequin without hair, it appears a bit roomier than it actually is. This hooded cowl is more of an XS-adult/teen/tween size. It feels cozy around my neck, effectively keeping out drafts. However, if you prefer a looser fit, you may need to add 20 to 60 stitches, depending on your size and how loose you like your cowls.

Blossom Stitch Photo Tutorial

The stitch pattern for this infinity scarf consists of a v-stitch mixed in with single crochets, double crochets and chain 1 spaces. It is called the blossom stitch and is easy and mindless to work on once you get the pattern going.

The tutorial below shows how to work the blossom stitch in the round. I started the tutorial with a series of chains and worked single crochet stitches into those chains. Within the pattern above, the cowl pattern starts with a single crochet foundation. You can do either, however, the foundation single crochet, as above, will give you a stretchier edge.
