Hey gang, I’m finally back with another free crochet pattern to share. It’s been awhile! I usually make a few projects like this crochet cowl pattern around the holidays, since they’re quick, easy and beginner friendly. This how to crochet a cowl project got pushed back but luckily it’s worth making year round.
It’s a simple two row repeat, very beginner friendly, doesn’t take a ton of yarn and you could crochet a cowl in a couple hours or less. It’s fantastic for gifting, donating or craft fair selling. I’m not sure how the craft fair market is going, but I hope you’re all hanging in there.

I used Berroco remix in a #4 weight for this crochet cowl pattern, so it’s not crazy bulky or two flimsy, just right for cool weather conditions. Feel free to use any brand you like in a #4 weight, I just love this Berroco Remix.
You’ll only need about 240 yards of yarn, so you may be able to knock a few of these out just using your scrap yarn. I LOVE a good yarn stash buster project. I may have too much leftover yarn….I bet you might too. This crochet a cowl project is perfect for that problem.
