This crochet cowl pattern was one of the first I put on paper and one of my favorite to wear. It uses only double crochets and chains which makes it a great easy project for the beginner! I love the subtle modern chevron patterning on this cowl.
My favorite aspect of this patterns is that it uses only 1 skein of yarn! I love love love one skein projects. The yarn I used is Big Twist Sincerely yarn from Joann’s. I was pleasantly surprised by this yarn. It is super soft heavier worsted weight yarn and has all the squishiness (this is an official yarn description term right?) and it drapes really well too. Ok enough chit chat…

This pattern looks so pretty! I love the chevron – I may need to try it! I am also a serious fan of using double crochet. Patterns that use this stitch typically work up so quickly (which is always good when you have lots of wips!). I also love your color choice for the scarf in this post, I love raspberry shades in fabric!
Thank you Jessica!! Gotta love those double crochets lol. Quick projects are the best.
On row 1 “Dc in 4th ch from hook, dc in next 2 chs. Dc in next 4”
There needs to be a skip 2 chains between the 2dc and the 4dc.
Worked as written, I ended up with 2 extra chains at the end.
Good catch Charlotte, thank you. I just fixed it. ?
You’re welcome. ?
This cowl is lovely! I really love the stitch and would love to make a throw from it. Could you please tell me how I would go from the end of row 1 to start row 2 if I were not joining them? Thank you!!
Thank you Lucia! This has been a popular question, I am just finishing up a throw using this stitch pattern, so hang tight a few more days, it should be up on the blog by Friday.
Terrific! Looking forward to trying it out. Thanks Heather.
Hi I am having trouble understanding join to top of beginning ch 3 using a sl st. Use the tail from beginning chains to join the bottom. Would you have a picture to explain? Thanks
Sorry it took so long to respond Kerry! Slip stitch into the top of chain 3 like you would for crocheting in the round. This will join your chain of double crochets and you will now continue working in the round. Thread your tail from your foundation chain onto your tapestry needle and join the first and last foundation chain together. Does that help at all?
I am having trouble at end of Row 1 – joining to top of beginning ch 3 using sl st.
Use the tail from beginning chains to join the bottom. Can you help with picture or diagram?
Thanks for your help,
Susan Roe
Hi Susan, Sorry, I do not have a picture. Slip stitch into the top of chain 3 like you would for crocheting in the round.

Where is the beginning ch 3 you are to
join to?
The beginning chain 3 refers to the the 3 chains you skipped at the beginning before you double crocheted in the 4th chain.
Hello; I’m having a problem with the end of round 2. It starts where you have, Repeat from* until last 5 dc, SK 2 sts, dc in next 3 (dc, ch2) in last ch 2 sp. If you only have 5 dc and SK 2, then dc in next 3, where do you work the (dc, ch2) in the last ch 2 sp?
I just found this cute pattern… love this variation of the chevron stitch. I’m interested in working it up in a rectangular prayer shawl for my charity crocheting. Can you tell me how to figure the starting chain numbers, etc? I see that you mentioned you’d be releasing a throw pattern with this stitch but I couldn’t find it on your blog. I thought I might be able to figure it out from that… but no luck? Thanks!!!!
I love this one too! I used this same stitch for the Merry and Bright Throw. Look in the Notes section of that pattern for the stitch multiple you need.
