Cowls are cool! Or warm. Right, cowls are warm. And over the past few years, cowls have become…hot. Yup, they are hot! So I have collected some crochet and knit cowl patterns to share with you. There are 2 round ups here, the first is crochet, and the second is knit, both are: COWLS!!
Here are the names and links of each crochet pattern, along with a little something that each designer has to say about them.
Moonstruck Cowl
Free Knit Pattern
Intermediate Skill Level
Designed by Jessie Rayot
I bought some beautiful yarn at Rhinebeck Sheep & Wool festival this year, and one of those yarns inspired this pattern. When you have beautiful yarn, you don’t need a lot going on in your pattern. This linen stitch cowl has a small amount of shaping around the bottom half to form to your shoulders and keep you nice and warm!
Learn to knit the linen stitch, also called the fabric stitch, in rows or rounds. I have written out the stitch pattern with process photos, and included a video.
I made this hat for a friend who wanted a slouchy hat in natural colors, and this was what I came up with. It’s a simple & quick knit pattern.
Mushroom Crepe Cowl
Knit Pattern
Intermediate Skill Level
Designed by Jessie Rayot
This long, skinny cowl can be worn a multiple of ways. The fun stitch pattern is easy to memorize, and creates wonderful texture. It can be made with 2 coordinating skeins of Lion Brand Crepe yarn, and with more yarn, it can easily be made wider.
This pattern was named by my friend Jan, one of my fellow admins (the head admin, actually) of the Knitting Facebook group. Thanks Jan!!

Bolster Pillow Cover Knit Pattern Intermediate Skill Level Designed by Jessie Rayot This bolster cover reminds me of a wrapped candy. I made it for Kyla’s Pink Princess room and she just loves her “Candy Pillow”. The main part is made with a seeded rib stitch, joined into a tube by grafting or seaming, and the ends are then picked up and worked in the round. The ends tie shut giving the whole piece a look of wrapped candy, and … Read more
Cabled Cable Pillow Inset Knit Pattern Intermediate Skill Level Designed by Jessie Rayot This little cable pattern can be used in many ways.
