Some Crochet Cowls Around the Web

1) Heidi Heisl has an Etsy shop where she offers a PDF pattern for a "Mammoth Crochet Cowl." It makes the "eternity scarf"-type of cowl look very warm and fun to wear--you just coil it around as many times as you like and it would fit around the bulkiest coat collars.

2) Go check out Angryolive's Twisted Cowl. This one's a mobius-style cowl. (In this case, that special mobius twist is created after the crocheting, when you seam it.) The pattern is right there at angryolive's livejournal page.


3) And finally, have a look at this hooded cowl for men. OK yes, it's knitted--machine knitted I'm sure. But wouldn't it be fun and easy to crochet?

Everyone keeping their necks warm? It's cold even here in Florida!

    I have no idea where else to post this. I love the stitch shown as the blog background. It seems to be alternating rows of sc's and sc's on back posts only. Would you kindly explain? Thank you!

    Hi Maria,

    Thanks! You're close. It's alternating rows of hdc's and sc's worked into the lower third loop only of the hdc's.

    Does this pattern have a name? I love it. I think it will look great in a scarf :)

    I don't know if it has a name. I worked it out myself because I wanted the ridges to be centered in each stripe. The only thing about it is that it's one-sided--no ridges on the other side. You can see my work in progress here: http://ravel.me/vashtirama/5x2tj
