Bullion Stitch Cozy Crochet Cowl

The bullion stitch cozy crochet cowl is perfect for keeping your chin and neck cozy against the cold winter wind. It’s nice and sturdy, so it stays up on its own. Plus, there is no stitch multiple, so you can easily make this for any size that you need.

The way the bullion stitches are worked in this pattern makes it look great on both sides of the fabric. On the one side, you can see the rolls in neat rows, and on the other side, you have a slanted strand that goes over the bullion stitches. This is because I did not use a chain one to close the bullion stitches.

Notes

This pattern is fastened off prior to each round with the bullion stitches. This way, you can start the bullion stitch rounds with a standing stitch for a cleaner seam. 

See photos below on how to carry the tail end of the yarn up across the first bullion stitch to maintain the same texture throughout.

Start your bullion stitch round with a standing bullion stitch as instructed in the pattern and complete the round.

The image below shows that the first bullion stitch in the round does not have a slant going across.

To fix this, simply take your tail end from where you fastened off at the previous row and bring it up across as shown.

Then secure the strand by crocheting over it, starting with the second single crochet of the next round.

Here, the second single crochet in the next round is complete, and you can see the strand is going across the first bullion stitch, as in the other bullion stitches.
