The Gateway Cowl crochet pattern by Lena Skvagerson may be exactly what you’re looking for to create a cozy and fashionable accessory. It can be used either on cold days or to add a touch of class to any outfit. The pattern uses easy stitches, so don’t be afraid to give it a try!
Prepare These Materials
For this cowl crochet pattern, Lena recommends Yarn Citizen Unity Worsted, which is 100% wool yarn, or Yarn Citizen Harmony Worsted, which is a blend of 50% wool and 50% alpaca. Both yarns provide interesting texture and warmth — you will need three skeins in Chestnut or Cinnamon.
The finished cowl is 8″ wide and 60″ around, ample enough to drape nicely around the neck. Use a 5 mm hook to ensure the right gauge.
How to Crochet the Gateway Cowl
The Gateway Cowl is worked in continuous rounds to achieve a seamless design with beautiful texture.
The pattern features a yarn-over slip stitch, which is easy to learn and gives the fabric a wonderful subtle ribbed effect. This stitch allows you to create a relatively thick and plush fabric that is perfect for keeping warm.
Styling Ideas for Your Crochet Cowl
As versatile as it is beautiful, the Gateway Cowl is sure to become a staple in your wardrobe. Wear it doubled around your neck to keep out the cold with its generous size, or drape it loosely for a more casual but still elegant look.
Rich texture makes this accessory great with both cozy sweaters and chic coats for any occasion. It can also be a great gift!
