Crossing Over Cowl
Here is the crossing over cowl to match last week’s Lightweight Crochet Beanie Pattern. The set is perfect for the fall, but can be crocheted for any season.
Use a solid color or add a few stripes. There are many options when it comes to adding stripes. One is to add just one or two stripes, and two, you can change to a different color at almost every round if you like.
Finished Size
It measures about 42 inches long and 4.5 wide. It wraps around twice for a cozy fit, but can also be worn long.
The cowl can be crocheted to any length by increasing the starting chains in multiples of 6.
The Yarn
You can use any type of yarn that you want. One of my testers used Caron Simply Soft, and the texture turned out really nice. However, I also love the drape you get with the ‘Woolike’ from Loops & Threads. So the choice is up to you.

That is a very pretty pattern. Thanks for sharing it. I am pinning to my crochet board. Best wishes, Darlene
I love the look of this pattern. I was wondering if I could make it with rows and not in a circle. I would sew the two ends together once it is the width that I wanted.
Yes, I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. :) That’s a great idea… and that way you could do an infinity scarf that drapes even better. :)
Thank you for your response. I am going to make this as a gift for a good friend.
Great pattern! love the stitches, the flexibility, the color you used and the fact it’s free! :)
Gorgeous! Just gorgeous.
