The Rory Hat and Cowl pattern set is a simple crochet set that has a lovely stitch combo and looks great on everyone!
These crochet pieces look lovely on their own or can be worn as a matching set!
Pattern Inspiration
I was inspired to create the Rory Hat and Cowl patterns after I designed the Rory Sleeveless Sweater! The stitch combo has such a nice modern look to it and I wanted to use it again.
The Hat and Cowl is what I decided to go with because who doesn’t love a good matching set?! I love how each piece can be worn as a standalone accessory or together. It looks great both ways!
This crochet hat and cowl set is just perfect for cold winter days!
The crochet beanie is a toque style hat with a ribbed brim and optional pom added at the top. This hat will look great in one solid color or with multiple colors.
The crochet cowl is a very simple circular design that is worked in the round.
It is very unisex and can be made for everyone in the family!

Pattern Details
This crochet beanie is worked from the bottom up, starting with the ribbed brim.
The crochet cowl is also worked from the bottom up in the round with a ribbed trim on bottom and top. There is no decreasing, other than the main stitch combo, in the cowl pattern.
The pattern is rated Easy in pattern difficulty. You’ll need to know basic stitches like single crochet and double crochet as well as decreasing stitches like sc2tog and dc2tog.
A fun pom on the top is optional, but adds some great flare to the hat. You could use a faux fur one, like I have pictured above, or make your own with yarn.
The Yarn
For this set I used Hobbii Portobello yarn. This fun worsted (#4) weight yarn consists of 60% cotton, 28% acrylic, and 12% wool.
This yarn feels lightweight, soft, and has an amazing drape! I also really loved the heathered look of the colors! I think this yarn is perfect for this project because of the wonderful drape that it has! Even though the cowl has a ribbed trim on both top and bottom, it lays so nicely around the neck.
Some other yarns that would be great for this set are WeCrochet Mighty Stitch Worsted, Lion Brand Jeans, or
