Welcome back to my blog and if you’re new here, welcome!
Feeling adventurous? Today I am sharing my first free crochet pattern of the year – The Herringbone Crochet Cowl!
I have designed this crochet cowl last fall, but due to my pregnancy (I announced the news in my first Newsletter of this year) and 1st trimester difficulties, I didn’t work much over the last 3 months. Now, since I am slowly getting back to designing and blogging, I have really beautiful patterns to share with you in the coming weeks.
Turn a rectangle into the Herringbone Crochet Cowl
The Herringbone Crochet Cowl pattern might be one of the most versatile pieces you ever make. This textured neck warmer has an interesting chevron pattern and can easily be adjusted for whatever length or width you desire. The result is a elegant and wonderfully crochet cowl pattern that’s perfect for keeping the chill off your neck in the colder months.
My intent with the Herringbone Crochet Cowl was to create a stylish and textured cowl from simple stitches and construction. It’s worked flat in rows and then seamed, so the instructions are simple and straightforward. For this crochet cowl pattern, you can use any yarn and corresponding crochet hook.
Smile with satisfaction when you finish and wear this beautiful Herringbone Crochet Cowl.
Herringbone crochet stitch
The pattern for this cowl uses a herringbone crochet stitch, which itself looks quite complicated, but it’s simply a 2-row repeat of single crochet worked in a unique way. For this crochet stitch make sure that your tension is not too tight or it can be difficult to crochet.
Please reference this blog post HERE to see detailed photo tutorial of how to work herringbone crochet stitch back and forth in rows. I believe that once you internalize this one stitch, you’ll be able to make your own Herringbone Crochet Cowl with no problem.
