I couldn’t have brought this pattern to life without my lovely testers that helped make sure my stitch counts were correct and helped named this cowl (Thank you Peg @pegnolan)
Here are some of their magnificent makes!
Emelie @yarn.thereapy.by.emelie used Big Twist Sincerely in Orange and Big Twist Premium in Gingerbread
Peg @pegnolan used a thicker #5 yarn to make a beautiful stash busting cowl! (pattern included in the printable PDF) She also used Loops & Threads Impeccable in Gold and Cream Tweed below!
Stacy @stacysecoy used Red Heart Super Saver Thyme and Frosty Green and Red Heart Super Saver Parrot Stripe below!

- ch – chain
- fsc – foundation single crochet
- st – stitch
- ss – slip stitch
- sc – single crochet

- ss – slip stitch
MATERIALS:
- H/5mm hook
- I used stash yarn for this cowl. You will need approx. 240 yards total of worsted weight yarn
- darning needle
- tape measure
- scissors
NOTES:
- Read through the entire pattern before you begin.
- This pattern is written in US terms.
- ch 1 does not count as a stitch
- You are crocheting in the round for this pattern using the wattle stitch.
- I used two colors for this cowl (brown and cream) but it would look great in any color!
- When crocheting in the round working the wattle stitch, just continue the clusters in each ch space. You are not joining rows.
Dimensions: Approx. 17″ x 8″ folded in half. 34″ around.
Gauge: 5 clusters and 10 rows = 4″ in the wattle stitch (sc, ch1, dc)
Find out all about gauge and more with a detailed photo tutorial to walk you though it on the All about Gauge Page.
A brief description of the wattle stitch:
The wattle stitch consists of a cluster of stitches (sc, ch1, dc) that are made all in the same chain space.
When making your first row of wattle stitches in this crochet cowl pattern you will skip 1 sc from the previous row in between each cluster.
I also designed the Autumn Crunch Fingerless Gloves and beanie to match the cowl.
You can find the gloves pattern HERE and the beanie pattern HERE.
