Picot Infinity Cowl

Free Infinity Cowl Crochet Pattern

Here is another simple pattern with the picot stitch. The crocheted cowl works up quick, and is perfect for the transitional weather in the spring and fall.

It’s a great stashbuster as shown, but you can easily increase the size to any length and width as well. Simply increase your starting chains in a multiple of 2 + 1 to get the length you need, and then continue with as many rounds until you get to the desired width.

Thus, you can easily crochet an oversized or hooded cowl for the winter if you like.
