Striped Hooded Cowl Crochet Pattern

April 5, 2014 · Rhelena · 14 Comments

This striped hooded cowl crochet pattern is the perfect winter accessory. It’s perfect for wearing with coats that don’t have a hood. And if you live in very cold climates, you can wear it underneath another hood for extra warmth. It’s not bulky so it fits nicely under your jacket.

To make it more fashionable, the front is closed with three buttons for an elegant look. Make one for yourself and a few for gifts to have them ready for when the snow falls.

The Stitch Pattern

The hooded cowl pattern is worked up in the crunch stitch, which gives you a nice solid stitch to keep you warm in the cold weather. The crunch stitch is simply the half double crochet and a slip stitch; alternated so the half double is worked into the slip stitch and vice versa. It’s an easy stitch to learn, yet features a pretty texture on both sides of the fabric that anyone will appreciate.

I crocheted the hood first; a long strip to fold over the head, with a seam at the back. The cowl is then crocheted directly onto the bottom edge of the hood. Working along the bottom will stretch the hood out a bit, but that then gives you the cowl length needed to close it at the front. 

The button loops are worked into the last row on the side where you want the loops. Lastly, the buttons are attached on the opposite side to align with the loops.

I used two colors for a striped design. If you don’t like the stripes, feel free to crochet it in a solid color, or use as many stripes as you like. :) Either way, the crunch still will look beautiful!

The Size

The free crochet pattern is given in one size, but can be adjusted to any size as needed. It is shown on a small adult head,

The length of the hood is adjusted by increasing or decreasing your starting chains to the length needed in a multiple of 2 + 1. Basically you want the chains to reach from one shoulder and over the head back down to the other shoulder. 

The Yarn

I used Caron Simply Soft, which is a nice strong acrylic yarn. It is not only cozy, but it is  easy to work with and gives you a nice drape as well. Plus, as the name suggests, it is soft on the skin, making it the perfect yarn for a cowl that will be worn close to the face.

    How many skeins are needed to make this hooded cowl? Thanks.

      You’ll need two skeins… one of each color. If you made it in a solid color, you might get away with only one skein, but not sure on that.

      Bonnie, I wouldn’t see why it couldn’t be done in bulky. And yes, you can crochet this to any size that you want by increasing or decreasing the beginning chains in multiples of 2 – so you want a multiple of 2 plus 1.

    I absolutely love this pattern, thank you for sharing. I had a quick question, what is the difference between a sc and a stsc.

      A standing single crochet is basically the same as a sc, except that it is used to start a new row or round. It basically takes the place of a chain-1. It reduces the bulk and blends in better.

    Love this design! I’ve made myself one and now have orders. I made another for a friend with a larger ‘hood’ which also came out really well. Great stuff! :@) x
