This soft and textured St. Peregrine crochet cowl pattern features a soothing stitch pattern that is easy enough to follow while watching a show, and slightly different on either side. You get to pick your favorite side or switch it up for a different look each time. This cowl uses about 350 yards of worsted weight yarn, which is typically less than two skeins, so you might have enough leftover to make a matching ear warmer.
You can get the free written instructions on the Two Brothers Blanket blog or keep reading below. I am honored to have my design featured on Michelle’s blog as she creates some beautiful, size-inclusive garments and accessories. If you haven’t checked out her designs, there are so many to choose from and perfect for all skill levels.
The cowl is worked in rows using a combination of half double crochet stitches in the front and back loops, as well as puff stitches to create that beautiful texture. You don’t need to be an expert crocheter to make this cowl, and the stitches are considered easy, but because you add the trim to the sides after making the body, I think an advanced beginner crocheter will find this fun challenge to make.
Plus, in the premium PDF, I have included lots of close-up photos to show you exactly where to place your hook for assembly so you can follow my exact process.

Introducing the St. Peregrine Crochet Cowl Pattern

This texture is one that is so versatile and would work well for just about every weight of yarn and all types of projects. Don’t you love it when you find something like this that you can make so many great gifts from?
