The Rainbow Eucalyptus tree is often described as the most colorful tree in the world because of the various colors of bark on the trunk and I felt that was a good match for this colorful crochet cowl.

This cowl is easily worked with just one skein of Mandala Thick & Quick yarn or another bulky yarn. The pattern was designed to be warm and cozy and add some texture with a mixture of circles and lines.

The cowl is worked as a rectangular scarf and then seamed to create an easy slip on cowl.

If you prefer, just leave it as a scarf and tuck in your coat or use a cute shawl pin to keep the ends together. 

Materials

Yarn: (brand, weight, color, yardage) – Lion Brand Mandala Thick & Quick, 5.3 oz/150 g, Turbine, 87 yd/79 m

Notes & Details

Gauge: 4” x 4” – 1 puff/frtc/1 puff stitch combo x 7 rows of alternating sc rows/puff & frtc rows 

Finished measurements/sizing: Worked flat – 29 ½ inches long  x 5 inches tall

Notes: 

The chain 1 to close the puff stitch does not count as an additional stitch and is merely used to close up the puff better and make the top flatter. It is not worked into in the next row. 

To extend the length of the scarf, work a multiple of 5 +1 in your foundation row. 

To make it taller, just work more rows. 

You can either seam the ends together as noted in the pattern or leave loose and use a shawl pin to close.
