There has been such a wonderful response to my "Crochet In The Round" post that I have decided to do a follow-up, and to share with you how I created my chunky crochet cowl. As I have mentioned before, writing crochet and knitting patterns is something very new to me. I still have so much to learn, but I enjoy working with yarn and experimenting with different stitches.
I really love the colour combination of the other cowl, but I decided to try two new colours from the same Waverly for Barnet yarn collection. For this piece I used "Butter" and "Gypsy Gold."
Materials
- 2 - 100g ball Waverly for Bernat (1 ball Butter - 55630, 1 ball Gypsy Gold - 55640) or approx. 180m/197 yards medium weight (#4) acrylic yarn
- US Size 10.5 (6.5 mm) crochet hook
10 sc = 4" (10cm)
Size
One size fits all. The finished size is approx. 10” high and 38” around.
Pattern
Using two strands of yarn, ch 84 (leaving approx. a 4 inch tail). Being careful not to twist join with sl st in the beginning ch.
Round1: ch1, *in back loop of next ch, yarn over and pull through loop, now you have three loops on hook, pull last loop through other two loops and repeat around
Round 2 - 6: repeat from * around
Round 7: sc in back loop of next ch and repeat around
Round 8: **sc through both loops and repeat around
Round 9-12: repeat from ** around
Round 13: *in back loop of next ch, yarn over and pull through loop, now you have three loops on hook, pull last loop through other two loops and repeat around
Round 14-18: repeat from * around
Round 19: sc in back loop of next ch and repeat around
Round 20 – 24: **sc through both loops and repeat around
Finishing
Fasten off. Cut yarn leaving a tail and weave in ends.
Note
For round 1 to 6 and 13 to 18 work as you would to create a half double crochet, but without the last loop.
ch(s) = chain(s)
sc = single crochet
sl st = slip stitch

Enjoy!

I worked up this cowl in about 2 and a half hours, the pattern was very easy, readable, and wonderfully warm (it's a cold winter here in Utah!) Thanks a bunch for the pattern!!
ReplyDeleteHi Elyse, I am so happy that the pattern worked out for you. Thanks for visiting my blog and for trying out the pattern :-)
ReplyDeleteI don't understand the directions for row 1
ReplyDeleteRound1: ch1, *in back loop of next ch, yarn over and pull through loop, now you have three loops on hook, pull last loop through other two loops and repeat around
Do you yarn over before you put the needle thru the back loop of the next ch thus having 3 loops on the hook
YES you DO YARN OVER before you put the needle through the back loop, but not the second time.
Deletebasically do a hdc except instead of YO when you have 3 loops on your hook, pull the last loop through the others.
