Pattern Inspiration

The Catherine Cowl was one of my very first published crochet patterns! I was new to designing and wanted to create a design with a combination of all of my favorite crochet stitches!

So I created the crochet cowl pattern featuring stitches and techniques like the double crochet, half double crochet, camel stitch, back loop only, and the Celtic Weave stitch!

Pattern Details

This crochet cowl pattern calls for worsted (#4) weight yarn. I used WeCrochet Brava Worsted for mine. I used the colorway Coral.

Close up of the yarn used to make the crochet cowl pattern called the Catherine Cowl.

Brava worsted is one of my go-to worsted weight acrylic yarns! It is so nice, so affordable, and comes in a huge variety of colors!

The pattern is worked in the round. There are three length options for this pattern for you to choose from. The cowl length is the one pictured.

You will need to know basic stitches like single crochet, double crochet, and half double crochet. You will also need to know some more advanced stitches like the camel stitch and Celtic weave stitch.

Pattern Notes

If your gauge is a little off, that’s okay. You mostly want your starting chainless hdc foundation to be the correct length before you join to the first stitch. Pattern is worked in the round, joining at the end of each round.

You will have a seam but you can place the seam at the back of the neck and it will never be seen.
