Popcorn Infinity Cowl

Here is another cozy infinity cowl pattern. I just love the infinity look with a cozy fit around the neck. It’s a great match with any outfit from casual to elegant evening wear.

The thing with infinity scarves is that you get a two-toned look on the fabric if you work it in the round. It’s a nice wide cowl, and when you give it that extra fold-over you get a beautiful textured look all around.

But, the fabric looks great on both sides, making this the perfect cowl to increase to any length for a nice over-sized or a cozy hooded cowl if you wanted to.

You might also enjoy this chunky cowl, or check out the main category for crochet cowls. Or, if you’re looking for something even more cozier, you might enjoy this hooded scarf crochet pattern.
