Incredibly snuggly, this quick-crochet cowl will warm you up in no time! I designed this cowl to have a chic and trendy style, while keeping the pattern easy enough for the beginning crocheter. (No lie: this cowl is a perfect “First Project” if you’ve always wanted to learn how to crochet.) Make one in a bold color to brighten up your winter coat and chase away winter drab. Then make a stack for everyone on your Christmas list. You’ll be a Crochet Rock Star.

Anne! My list of things to crochet is already too long! You just had to come up with another cool pattern for me to work on?
I apologize!
But this one is fast and easy, so it shouldn’t hurt your queue too badly!
Anne, I love this! I really struggle to find easy patterns for me to do. SO excited about cracking on with this! x
Hehe! I might have to slip it somewhere in my list. Thanks.
This looks great Anne good to know your still out there crocheting I had been checking for your uploads this is great for warmness and christmas gifts!
This is wonderful! Could you please tell me if it is mobius or not? If not, could you please tell me if there is a way to make it mobius?
Thank you

Hi Melea! This cowl is crocheted in one continuous loop (sometimes called an “infinity” or “eternity” scarf). I think math people get a little fussy about misuse of the word “mobius,” so I won’t oficially call it that. (Math people can turn really mean.) BUt it IS a continuous loop. I hope that helps!
for the yarn, is it in the category medium, bulky, super bulky? I just have access to Bernat and Red Heart so what is equivalent for the size of the yarn? Thanks, I just love your pattern!!!!
Thank you for your comment!
That’s a great question, too. This yarn is super bulky. A good equivilent in Red Heart might be “Boutique Cosmic” (with two strands held together to get a similar gauge) or Bernat’s “Baby Blanket” (with two strands held together to get a similar gauge).
You could also try using five stands of any worsted weight yarn. I haven’t tried it with this pattern, but doing the math, I think that would work, as well.
I hope that helps a bit!
