Get ready for the festive season with this reversible interlocking cowl!
Worked seamlessly in the round entirely on the right side, this cowl willamaze you by how simple it is to crochet.
The pattern walks you through all the stepsthrough detailed instructions and tutorial photos, so you can confidently complete this project even if you never tried your hand at interlocking crochet before.
The best thing about this cowl is that you achieve a unique, reversible colorwork fabric without ever having to work with more than 1 color at the same time.That’s right! At the start of a round, you always drop the inactive yarn and pickup the new color on your hook, making this the easiest colorwork project you’ve ever made!
Construction
This cowl is worked from the top, down in the round and on the right side only. You alternate between the two contrasting colors each round. Three decorative rounds are then worked around both ends of the cowl in order to give it a professional finish.
Suggested Yarns:
Festivus 9.0 Worsted, Better Breakfast Worsted, Kent Worsted
Worsted or DK weight yarn in at least 1 main color (MC), and 1 contrast color (CC). Animal fibers such as merino or alpaca are ideal for a warm and cozy cowl for the cold season, and plant-based fiber blends, such as cotton + bamboo, will work great for a lighter accessory that can be worn during spring.
Shown here: Bare Naked Wools Festivus 9.0 Worsted (3-ply, 100% merino wool, 225 yds / 205 m per 115 g) in “Red Flannel” as MC, and Bare Naked Wools Better Breakfast Worsted (2-ply, 65% merino, 35% dehaired alpaca, 225 yds / 205 m per 115 g) in “Milk and Honey” as CC. The WPI of both these yarns is 10, although the Festivus 9.0 feels ever so slightly heavier.
Yardage
Main color (red): 1 hank of BNW Festivus 9.0 Worsted, or 140 (175, 225) yds / 130 (160, 205) m
Contrast color (cream): 1 hank of BNW Better Breakfast Worsted, or 75 (95, 125) yds / 70 (85, 115) m
Hooks
6.0 mm hook (main gauge), 5.0 mm hook (detailing), or sizes needed to obtain gauge. I used my Clover Amours. I’m a tight crocheter, so you may have to go down in hook sizes.
