Want to keep warm, but don’t like hats or scarves? This Cabled Hooded Cowl designed by Quayln Stark will protect you against cold wind and low temperature, while being an elegant addition to your winter outfit. A traditional design and an eye-catching cable pattern will let you stand out from the crowd. I’m sure you will love this project!
Choosing Yarn for Maximum Warmth
A crochet cowl should certainly be warm enough to ward off the winter chill. This particular design calls for medium-weight yarn and a 6 mm crochet hook to produce a nice, cozy fabric.
You can use Red Heart Hygge Charm, a soft acrylic yarn with an added strand of metallic that highlights every stitch.
How to Crochet a Cabled Hooded Cowl
You make this crochet hooded cowl by working two identical side panels and one narrow panel with back cabling. The body features just single crochet stitches that create a dense texture. However, the decorative cabled motifs require more skill, incorporating front post and back post stitches.
How to Style Your Handmade Hooded Cowl
I can assure you that you will feel comfy using this hat and scarf in one. There are also many ways in which you can style this crocheted cowl with a hood. It’s the perfect accessory for creating both elegant and laid-back looks.
Wear it under a jacket during the winter months to ensure maximum protection against the cold, or put it on its own whenever you feel like you might need extra layering. It will also work well in the transitional seasons, so it’s definitely worth having in your closet!
