Canyons Cowl Free Crochet Pattern
A few years ago, I released the Mountains Cowl crochet pattern, and it got so much love! It had been my intention for quite a while to also write a super bulky version of the pattern, that could be whipped up quickly. When I saw Red Heart Stellar in the color, Meteorite, I was inspired to do just that! It’s a bouclé yarn, which in the past, I haven’t exactly loved. But I thought it was perfect for this!
This pattern is really pretty basic, just V stitches (or double crochets and chains, if you aren’t familar with the V stitch yet). So I really wanted to use a yarn that would make a basic stitch pattern a little more exciting. Bouclé yarn seemed like just the thing and Stellar even has some sparkle in it!
Just like the yarn that I designed the Mountains Cowl with, this yarn has slight color changes in it, which will reveal a subtle zig zag pattern in some places as you work. Using a solid color would obviously be just as cozy! ;) Or you might choose to change colors each round to create a more obvious zig zag pattern.
My favorite thing about this oversized cowl is that it’s long enough to pull up over your head to wear it as a hood, if you’d like. And it’s still plenty long to keep your neck covered and cozy. I also think it would look awesome with fringe around the bottom, should you choose to add that! :)
