Title: Simple Twist Crochet Cowl

Materials Needed:

  • Worsted weight yarn (color of your choice)
  • Crochet hook appropriate for your yarn weight
  • Scissors
  • Yarn needle

Finished Measurements: The cowl is designed to fit comfortably around your neck with a twist for added texture. You can customize the length and width to your preference.

Pattern:

Foundation Chain:

  1. Start by making a foundation chain. The length of your chain will determine the circumference of the cowl. For a standard adult size, you can start with a chain of 100 stitches. Adjust the chain length if you’d like a larger or smaller cowl.

Round 1:

  1. Join the last chain to the first chain with a slip stitch to form a ring. Be careful not to twist the chain.

Round 2:

  1. Chain 2 (counts as the first double crochet here and throughout).
  2. Make a double crochet (dc) stitch in each chain around the ring. Join with a slip stitch to the second chain of the initial ch-2. (100 dc)

Rounds 3-5:

  1. Chain 2.
  2. Front post double crochet (fpdc) around the next stitch, back post double crochet (bpdc) around the next stitch. Repeat from * to * around. Join with a slip stitch to the second chain of the initial ch-2.

Rounds 6-10:

  1. Repeat Round 2.

Round 11:

  1. Chain 2.
  2. Bpdc around the next stitch, fpdc around the next stitch. Repeat from * to * around. Join with a slip stitch to the second chain of the initial ch-2.

Rounds 12-15:

  1. Repeat Round 2.

Fasten off and weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle.

Assembly:

  1. Lay the crochet rectangle flat and twist it once in the center, forming a twist in the cowl.
  2. Align the short ends of the rectangle and seam them together using your preferred seaming method (whipstitch, slip stitch, etc.).
