The crochet cowl is the type of pattern that can be designed for warm weather or cold. In this case, you can go either way.
I was playing around with some crochet stitches the other night when I discovered a fun and simple way to make this beautiful scarf. The reason I just *had* to write it out was that I wanted to make sure I remember how to make the leaning rows. Just a simple stitch placement and it all falls into place!

Generally, when you crochet a cowl, it's either made in the round or as a rectangle and seamed together – this pattern is the latter of those options. If you enjoy crocheting simple shapes like rectangles, you may want to check out my Crochet Anything with Rectangles class where you'll take the basic shape you already have down pat and turn it into useful, practical, and beautifully professional projects.

So, how many of these do you plan on making? One in every color?

Can I use other medium worsted weight yarn such as Caron Simply Soft yarn or Redheart?
You really can use any yarn and hook you want. 😀 I will love seeing the finished product with different yarn!
Hello! I started this scarf and I’m having a hard time understanding the pattern. I may just be crazy, but when I did the chain 27 then followed the rest of the pattern for the 1st row, I actually get 7 “v’s” not 6. Also, the directions for the 3rd row say to start in the chain to the right of the cluster, in the picture it kind of shows to the left of the cluster.
Very pretty scarf and easy pattern, but can you just clarify how many “v’s” and how many clusters should be in the rows. Thanks! 🙂
It says “6 more times”. Meaning the first time is not included in the “repeat 6 *more* times”. And in the photo, I took a photo of the other side of the scarf. So it is flipped the wrong way. You do crochet to the right of the cluster.
Yeah, but with the chain 27, it actually allows you to do it “7 more times” making it a total of 8. Am I doing something wrong?
No you are not. I will try to explain it with the first row.
Row 1: CH 27. Turn. Skip 3 CH. {DC, CH 1, DC}-into next CH. <(this is the first) **Skip 2 CH. {DC, CH 1, DC}-into next CH. <(this is the second) Repeat from ** six more times. (equals 8 total) Skip 1 CH. DC into last CH.
So you end up with a row of v stiches and the row is a row of 3dc
So 1 row of v stiches and one row of doubles am i getting that right. That is what it looks like in the picture
I love this pattern! May I ask what brand/colorway of yarn you used? I can’t wait to try it.
So pretty!
How long is this scarf?
I tried this pattern and it turned out perfect for me. Thanks I love it.
