Crochet cowl Scarlett

As it gets colder outside every day, it is a good time to share a free pattern for a crochet cowl Scarlett. I really like the texture of this cowl. And it is very easy to make! For this pattern I use the trinity stitch working in rounds (you can see a tutorial for this stitch here). I also included detailed photo instructions below, so even if you are a beginner in the crochet world, you could definitely try this pattern. All you have to do is to repeat one round.

For this cowl I use yarn that is 100% recycled, which I found in my local store. However, you can choose any thicker yarn you like: the softer, the better 🙂

You can also take a look at my other free crochet patterns here.

Good luck!

Materials

  • Yarn: any thicker yarn will work. I used Soft Yarn, 100% polyester, 50 g, colors: rose (1 skein) and dark rose (2 skeins).
  • Hook: as suggested on your yarn label. I used hook size 4.0.

Notes

The length of my cowl is 60.0 cm and the height is 19.0 cm. You will be working in rounds. This pattern uses the trinity stitch. Photo instructions below show the main steps how to make this stitch. The pattern is a repeat of one round. It is very easy to adjust the size of the cowl: in the beginning make an even number of chains to reach the desired length of your cowl. Then make any number of rounds until you reach the desired height. I changed yarn color when I reached around 4/5 of the height of my cowl. Be aware that the seam (where you join with a slip stitch) for this pattern moves to the right when you work your way up (in this way it is less noticeable).

Start by making a chain with the dark rose yarn. I chained 120 chains (60 cm). Then join to the beginning of the chain with a sl st (make sure that the long chain is not twisted before you join).

Round 1: ch 1, make a sc in the very first st, tr st until the end of the round, join with a sl st to the sc that you made in the beginning (see photo instructions).

Round 2-26: repeat round 1.

Change yarn color to rose (see photo instructions).

Round 27-34: repeat round 1.

Fasten off.

Photo instructions for a crochet cowl Scarlett

Round 1

1. Start by making a chain with the dark rose yarn. The length of the chain should be around 60 cm (or as long as you want) and you should make an even number of chains. I chained 120 chains.

2. Before joining your long chain to its beginning, remember to check if it is not twisted. Then insert your hook in the first chain.

3. Yarn over and pull the yarn through to make a slip stitch. Now your chain is connected.

4. Chain one. Next you will work in the very first stitch where you have just connected the ends of the chain like it is indicated in the picture.

5. So, make a single crochet in the very first stitch. Next you will work in the same stitch where you have just made a single crochet.

6. So, insert your hook in the stitch where you have just worked in, yarn over and pull the yarn through. Now you have two loops on your hook. For the rest of the round you will work in the back of the chain. Next you will work in the back of the next chain.

7. So, insert your hook in the back of the next chain, yarn over and pull the yarn through. Now you have three loops on your hook. Next you will work in the back of the next stitch.

8. So, insert your hook in the back of the next stitch, yarn over and pull the yarn through. Now you have four loops on your hook.

9. Yarn over.

10. Pull the yarn through all four loops on your hook.

11. Then chain one to close the trinity stitch. Next you will make the second trinity stitch: you will work in the stitch where you have just worked in and then in the next two stitches.

12. So, insert your hook where you have just worked in, yarn over and pull the yarn through. Now you have two loops on your hook.

13. Then insert your hook in the back of the next stitch, yarn over and pull the yarn through. Now you have three loops on your hook.

15. Yarn over.

16. Pull the yarn through all four loops.

17. Then chain one to close the trinity stitch.

18. Work in the same way until the end of the round. When you make the last trinity stitch in this round, don’t chain one to close it. Instead you will join with a slip stitch to the single crochet that you made in the beginning of this round like it is indicated in the picture.

19. So, insert your hook in the top of the single crochet that your made in the beginning, yarn over and pull the yarn through.

Round 2

20. Then chain one. Next you will work in the very first stitch like it is indicated in the picture.

21. So, make a single crochet in the very first stitch. Next you will work in the same stitch where you have just worked in and then in the next two stitches.

22. So, insert your hook in the same stitch where you have just worked in, yarn over and pull the yarn through. Now you have two loops on your hook.

23. Then insert your hook in the next stitch, yarn over and pull the yarn through. Now you have three loops on your hook.

24. Insert your hook in the next stitch, yarn over and pull the yarn through. Now you have four loops on your hook.

25. Yarn over.

26. Pull the yarn through all four loops.

27. Then chain one to close the trinity stitch. Next you will work in the same stitch where you have just worked in and then in the next two stitches like it is indicated in the picture.

28. So, insert your hook in the same stitch where you have just worked in, yarn over and pull the yarn through. Then insert your hook in the next stitch, yarn over and pull the yarn through. Insert your hook in the next stitch, yarn over and pull the yarn through. Now you have four loops on your hook.

29. Yarn over.

30. Pull the yarn through all four loops on your hook.

31. Close the trinity stitch by chaining one.

32. Work in the same way until the end of the round. Like before, don’t chain one to close the last trinity stitch, instead you will join with a slip stitch to the single crochet that you made in the beginning of this round.

33. So, make a slip stitch to the top of the single crochet. For the rest of the pattern repeat round 2.

Round 27

34. In round 27 (or when you reach around 4/5 of the height of your cowl) you have to change yarn color. So, take your rose yarn.

35. Chain one with the rose yarn.

36. Then pull the end of the dark rose yarn to tighten and secure the rose yarn.

37. Then chain one and work as usually until the end.
