Free Cowl Crochet Pattern

Criss Cross Reversible Cowl ~ FREE Crochet Pattern
Criss Cross Reversible Cowl ~ FREE Crochet Pattern

This cowl has a lovely texture on both sides, thus making it great for an infinity scarf. Plus, it’s crocheted in a simple stitch multiple, making it super easy to adjust to any length that you need.

It is shown as a short cowl with a neat fold at the top, but you could crochet it as long as you wanted to and wear it any which way that you like.

And it’ll go great with any casual or dressy outfit. To match this, you may want to try this crochet ear warmer pattern or the criss cross slouchy beanie.

Pattern Information:

Skill Level: Intermediate

Materials:
Yarn: Red Heart Super Saver #4
Crochet Hook: I/9-5.50mm

Gauge: 3″ over 10 sts.

Finished Size: Laying flat it measures 12″ across.

Abbreviations:

Ch/Chs = Chain/Chains
Fldc = Front Loop Double Crochet
Flsc = Front Loop Single Crochet
Rep = Repeat
Sc = Single Crochet
Sk = Skip
Sl St = Slip Stitch
St/Sts = Stitch/Stitches

Special Stitch Instructions:

The first crossed stitch is worked over the first and last sts made in the previous round. This way the beginning ch-2 is hidden for a seamless look. It also staggers the crossed stitches for a super cool design.

All rounds are crocheted into the front loops only. All rounds are joined in both loops.

Turn after each rnd is completed.

Refer to the following tutorials if you need help with an infinity cowl or with the crossed stitch.

      Hi Marie, it’s an infinity cowl, which means that you make a twist in your work before you join your round and then work on both sides of the starting chains like a figure 8. This then doubles the amount of stitches you have.
