The leaves are in full fall colors on the Blue Ridge Mountains where I am and I picked up some Red Heart Unforgettable yarn in the color polo which reminded me so much of how the mountains look right now and I decided to stitch up a cowl with it. I absolutely love the feel of the Unforgettable yarn, it’s silky and soft feeling.
This cowl pattern uses the single crochet, extended single crochet, single crochet back loop only, half double crochet, and bean stitch. Even with all of those stitches, it is still very beginner friendly if you are new to crocheting.
Materials:
- 1 Skeins of Red Heart Unforgettable Yarn in Polo (if making the cowl bigger than original then you will want to get at least 2 skeins)
- 5.00 mm (H) crochet hook.
- Yarn needle to weave in ends.
- Stitch Markers
Measurements:
8.5 inches tall x 25 inches around
Notes
This crochet pattern is written in US terms.
If you want to change the width of this cowl the initial chain needs to be an even number.
If you want to increase the length of the cowl repeat rows 1-18 until you reach your desired length.
The original pattern uses almost all (96g) of the entire skein of Red Heart Unforgettable Yarn (100g), so if using a different yarn or changing the size please take into account any changes and get more than one skein of yarn.
