Crochet collar cowl pattern

So, this didn’t start out to be a cowl, or a collar! This crochet collar cowl is an example of starting down a path and ending up at a different destination than you planned. I wanted to try this single rib stitch and my mom wanted a scarf, so I thought this would be a good opportunity to try it out. I started with a width that would come up over her ears and mouth if she wanted and proceeded to work this pretty quickly. Around row 20, I decided to go give it a try in the mirror and see how it was coming along. It was heavy, so when I wrapped it around my neck, it immediately folded in half. My daughter was watching me and she said it looked like a collar. So, after looking at it for a few more minutes, I decided to let the yarn and stitch lead me and these guys were telling me this would not make a great long scarf for my mom, but it sure would make a cute little cowl! So, I finished up a few more rows, added a button and I love the way it turned out! I hope you love this free crochet cowl pattern too.

Tips:

Add a button around stitch 5 on one side of the cowl. Use a button that will easily slide in and out between the stitches on the other side.

Use a bulky yarn to make this super warm and stand up as a collar easily.
