Picot Friendly – Easy Crochet Cowl Pattern
This easy crochet cowl pattern is mindless to crochet and stylish to wear. It has a nice color combo, which you can customize to match your outfit. It’s nice and long so you can wear it under or over your winter jacket.
Wear it long like a scarf or wrap it around for a cozy neck scarf. Either way you’re sure to get lots of use out this pattern during the cold weather.
It is a great pattern for making gifts, especially when you match it up with this Picot Friendly Women’s Hat Crochet Pattern.
How It’s Made
This easy pattern is worked in the round by making your chains to the circumference that you like. Then for the main stitch pattern, one round is worked with the single crochet and the picot stitch, followed by a round of double crochets and chain-1 spaces.
The Finished Size
The finished size is 52 inches in circumference by 6″ wide. However, the crochet cowl is easy to adjust, as the stitch pattern is only a multiple of two.
The Yarn
I used Red Heart Super Saver, which is a medium worsted weight yarn that works well with a 5.5 mm crochet hook size. Any similar yarn will work to give you a similar look. But, you could also try this in a DK or bulky yarn too if you like.
