Spring Breeze Cowl Crochet Pattern (FREE)

{A unique textured crochet cowl pattern that you’ll love making and wearing this Spring!}

Are you ready for a FREE crochet cowl pattern!? How about one that only uses 1 skein of yarn!?? I certainly enjoy 1 skein projects especially if I am working with a more expensive yarn such as a hand dyed yarn which this pattern uses.

This specific design really is all about the yarn! This colorway ‘Confetti’ from ThreadHead Knits Co looks great on any of the bases that Lindsay offers. The light pink base of this colorway is perfect for Spring!

[ThreadHead Knits Co now has a Rewards Program! Here is my referral link if you’d like to sign up.]

About this design: This cowl is crocheted in rows but the rows are worked on the bias which simply means that the stitches in the rows are worked diagonally. Working on the bias is achieved by working decreases on one side and working increases on the other side. This gives a more unique look to the cowl than just rows that are worked straight and not on a diagonal.

If you love this cowl using hand dyed yarn then you will also love the Handwritten Cowl. Find the free crochet pattern HERE.

Stitches/Abbreviations: US Terms

• ch – chain

• sc – single crochet
• sl st – slip stitch
• sp(s) – space(s)
• sk – skip
• yo – yarn over
• sc2tog – single crochet 2 stitches together (creates a decrease)

Notes:

• This is worked in rows and then joined.
• As you keep working more rows they will start to have a more diagonal slant to them, this is correct.
• You can easily substitute a weight 4 yarn for this design.  Check gauge if needed.
• You can change the height of the cowl by making your beginning chain in multiples of 2.
• When working this pattern, ch-1 sps are referred to as sts rather than ch-1 sps.
