Crochet Cowl (or circle scarf) pattern


Double-up stitch cowl

 

Stitches to know

Ch

DC

FPtr –front post treble

 

I used an I hook.  Your hook size just depends on how thick you want the cowl to look, If you want it tighter than use a smaller hook size,

 

CH 108 +3

 

Row 1- this will be the wrong side-

          DC in 4th ch from hook (count as first DC). 

DC in next 2 st.  Ch1, skip 3 ch. 

DC  x5 in next st.  Ch 1, skip 3 ch.

*DC in next 5 st.  Ch 1, skip 3 ch 

DC  x5 in next st.  Ch 1, skip 3 ch.*

Repeat from *7 times Ch 1. skip 3 ch.  DC in last 3 st.

(note:  on mine I counted wrong and so I have an extra 3 stitches.  If this happens to you, don’t stress, just make adjustments to look nice)

 

Row 2

          Ch 3, turn (count as first DC, now and throughout)

          DC in next 3 DC sp. (unless you had extra or short DC’s just DC in the DC spaces)Ch1

DC in first DC of cluster.  Skip 2 DC.  FPtr in 4th DC in cluster.  FPtr in front of previous FPtr in 2nd DC in cluster. DC in 5th DC in cluster, Ch 1.

*DC in next 5 DC.  Ch1

DC in first DC of cluster.  Skip 2 DC.  FPtr in 4th DC in cluster.  FPtr in front of previous FPtr in 2nd DC in cluster. DC in 5th DC in cluster, Ch 1. *  Repeat from * 7 times

DC in remaining DC spaces.

 

Row 3

          Ch3, turn

DC in next 2 st.  Ch1, skip 3 ch. 

DC  x5 in space between FPtr.  Ch 1, skip 3 ch.

*DC in next 5 st.  Ch 1, skip 3 ch 

DC  x5 in space between FPtr.  Ch 1, skip 3 ch.*

Repeat from *7 times Ch 1. skip 3 ch.  DC in last 3 st.

 

Row 4-5

          Repeat Row 2 and 3

Row 6-8

          Ch3, turn

          DC across

Row 9

          Ch3, turn

DC in next 2 st.  Ch1, skip 3 ch. 

DC  x5 in next st.  Ch 1, skip 3 ch.

*DC in next 5 st.  Ch 1, skip 3 ch 

DC  x5 in next st.  Ch 1, skip 3 ch.*

Repeat from *7 times Ch 1. skip 3 ch.  DC in last 3 st.

Row 10

          Ch 3, turn (count as first DC, now and throughout)

          DC in next 3 DC sp. (unless you had extra or short DC’s just DC in the DC spaces)Ch1

DC in first DC of cluster.  Skip 2 DC.  FPtr in 4th DC in cluster.  FPtr in front of previous FPtr in 2nd DC in cluster. DC in 5th DC in cluster, Ch 1.

*DC in next 5 DC.  Ch1

DC in first DC of cluster.  Skip 2 DC.  FPtr in 4th DC in cluster.  FPtr in front of previous FPtr in 2nd DC in cluster. DC in 5th DC in cluster, Ch 1. *  Repeat from * 7 times

DC in remaining DC spaces.

 

Row 11

          Ch3, turn

DC in next 2 st.  Ch1, skip 3 ch. 

DC  x5 in space between FPtr.  Ch 1, skip 3 ch.

*DC in next 5 st.  Ch 1, skip 3 ch 

DC  x5 in space between FPtr.  Ch 1, skip 3 ch.*

Repeat from *7 times Ch 1. skip 3 ch.  DC in last 3 st.

 

Row 12-13

          Repeat row 10 and 11.

 

Put wrong sides together and (the 3 DC and 3 DC should line up) and stitch down the middle.  Weave in ends.

 

I hope this made sense to you.  If you find a mistake leave me a note so that I can address it.  Thanks and have a great day!

 

I based the double up crochet stitch from the book “Crochet Stitches” from the publishing company Leisure Arts.
