Mosaic crochet patterns are still so on trend and I couldn’t help myself but to design another one.

If you’re a fan of crochet mosaic colorwork, you’ll adore this beautiful crochet cowl pattern that adds richness and warmth to your look. 

It’s a cozy way to welcome cooler days, so put this pattern on your to-do list!

This crochet cowl pattern has been on my “to make” list since I released my crochet Duende Hat in 2020.

The Duende Crochet Cowl is a prefect accessory for your fall/winter season wardrobe and it looks way more complicated than it is.

With a more-close-fitting size and its great height, this crochet cowl is a fun and cozy item because you can shield your mouth and nose from cold winds.

It’s amazing how winter can feel much less harsh as long as you are wearing something warm to protect your neck!

Duende Crochet Cowl pattern is perfect for practicing your skills in working with two different colors and getting a taste of mosaic crochet technique: it’s both manageable and skill-building.

The two-color geometric motif is easy to memorize and follow, and the end result is striking.

Even if you have never tried mosaic crochet in the round before, you will easily be able to follow the pattern because I put together step-by-step tutorial with many pictures below so you can visualize how and where insert your hook to complete the stitches.

Duende Crochet Cowl pattern has one size (adjustable) and no visible seam. Worked in one piece in the round with just approx. 385m of yarn, it’s a quick project suited for precious materials.

For my sample cowl I used the Drops Nord yarn. Since this yarn is an alpaca, polyamide and wool blend, this crochet cowl are incredibly warm, cozy and soft. The color range in this yarn is awesome – there’s something for everyone.

I’ve made a couple of other free patterns, apart from this crochet cowl pattern, with this yarn. These include my Duende Hat, Havra Infinity Scarf and Field of Flowers Shawl.

I hope you will like my mosaic crochet cowl pattern and will proudly wear it, or give it as a gift to someone you love.

Materials & Tools:

  1. Yarn DROPS Nord 50g = 170 m, 45% Alpaca, 30% Polyamide, 25% Wool, in 2 colors:

Yarn A: plum(17) – 238m,

Yarn B: off white(01)– 147m.

  • Hook size 3.5mm. Adjust hook size if necessary to obtain correct gauge,
  • Tapestry needle (to weave and hide yarn ends),
  • Scissors,
  • Stitch marker.

Level:

Intermediate – mosaic crochet.

Sizes:

one size, adjustable: approx. 29cm/11.4” circumference and 39cm/15.35” high.

Gauge after blocking:

18 sts and 18 rows = 10 cm x 10 cm using main body pattern.

If necessary, adjust hook size to obtain the correct gauge.

Before you measure, please take the time to block your swatch in the same manner that you will block your cowl.

General Notes:

  • The pattern uses US crochet terminology.
  • The cowl, after the Ribbing 1, is worked in one continuous spiral of single crochet and BLmosaicdc stitches.
  • Pattern for mosaic body is multiple of 7 stitches. To increase the circumference of the cowl, increase the number of rows in ribbing.  To decrease the circumference of the cowl, decrease the number of rows in ribbing.
  • To increase the height of the cowl, increase the repeats of rows 3 – 12. To decrease the height of the cowl, decrease the repeats of rows 3 – 12.
  • STITCHES: When in the instructions you have a stitch followed by a number, eg sc14, this means you have to work 1sc stitch into each of the next 14 sts. When in the instructions you have a number followed by a stitch, eg 2sc, this this means you have to work 2 sc stitches into the next (same) stitch.
  • Instructions in square brackets […] are worked as many times as indicated.

Mosaic Pattern Notes:

  • You can either follow the chart or written instructions.
  • Color is changed after every one round.
  • You can avoid weaving in all those ends by not cutting the yarn when you finish a round. Simply carry the other color along the inside and pick it back up with your hook when you need to use it again. 

How to read the Mosaic Chart:

  • Chart is read from bottom to top and each row of squares represents 1 round.
  • All rounds are read from right to left.
  • Each square of the chart represents 1 stitch or 1 skipped stitch.
  • Whenever you see a square of color dedicated to that round, work single crochet.
  • Whenever you see a square of different color in that round, skip that stitch (make chain). To prevent puckering,  make the same number of chain as the number of skipped sts plus ch1. For example, for 1 skipped st – make ch2, for 2 skipped sts – make ch3, for 3 skipped sts – make ch4, etc.
  • Pay special attention to number of skipped stitches.
  • BLmosaicdc will be worked in these skipped sts from two rounds below. Remember, BLmosaicdc are always worked in front of chains of previous round.

Stitches & Abbreviations (US terms):

ch(s) – chain(s) stitch

st(s) – stitch(es)

sc(s) – single crochet

dc(s) – double crochet

BLsc – back loop only single crochet

BLdc – back loop only double crochet

slst – slip stitch

yo – yarn over

BLmosaicdc (back loop only mosaic double crochet) – work regular BLdc in unworked/skipped st of the same color two rounds below in front of chain space (in front of work). These chains will stay behind BLmosaicdc and will stay unworked.

M – marker

PM – place marker

BOR – beginning of the row/round

sp – space

sk – skip

beg – beginning

prev – previous
