Knit Look Free Crochet Cowl Pattern

Knit Look Beginner
Free Crochet Cowl Pattern
By
May Jane Hall

Description 

This is a beginner project that's quick and easy. If you'd rather have a long scarf that's not circular like an infinity scarf, just work enough chains at the beginning to the length you want your scarf to be, then work the entire scarf in rows (not rounds) turning each row to get the ridged effect. Don't forget to work all rows in the back loop only. You will be working all half double crochet stitches (hdc) after your beginning chain, and in my opinion working a hdc in the blo is what makes this stitch look like knitting. 

Tip - you can use a smaller hook than size M, but keep in mind if you do use a smaller hook, your scarf will not be as drapeable and will be stiffer. The loser you crochet with a larger hook, the softer your scarf will be.

Finished Size - I made this for a friend and didn't measure it because at the time I didn't know I was going to offer the cowl as a free pattern. 

Materials

Vannas Choice yarn: #4, worsted wt yarn in color: Barley

Note: any worsted (or Aran) wt yarn can be used for this pattern. You can use a smaller yarn and smaller hook, such as #2 sport wt, #3 DK wt, but keep in mind that you'll need to crochet more foundation stitches at the beginning to make it longer if you do this. You could even use a bulky yarn but would need to make less foundation sts. 

Crochet Hook: size M/13 (9mm)

Gauge: I made this as a gift for a friend and did not measure the gauge before I gave it to her. Even though your gauge is very important when making garments, it's not all that important when making a scarf. That is, unless you want it to look identical to the one the pattern was written for. Something to keep in mind is that I always use a larger hook than what the company suggests on the yarn label. You do not want your crochet items to be hard and stiff unless it's a purse or a molded hat. 

Stitches used: Chain (ch), slip stitch (sl st), half double crochet (hdc)

Abbreviations: 

Blo - back loop only

Ch - chain

Hdc - half double crochet

Rep - repeat

Rnd - round

Sl st - slip stitch

St - stitch

Pattern notes: all rounds are worked in the blo (back loop only) to get the ridged effect. You will be slip stitching the last st to the first st on each end. (Unless you make 1 long scarf that's not in the round). Then you'll turn each round. If you don't turn the rnds, you won't get the ridged effect. Ch 2 at the beginning of each round.

Instructions

Foundation row: Ch 144 , being careful not to twist ch, sl st to 1st ch (circle made)

Rnd 1: ch 2, work hdc in blo of each ch, sl st to first st, turn- 144 hdc

Note: in order to make the raised ridges, you have to turn each round/row, and work in the back loop only (blo) of each stitch (hdc), otherwise your stitches will all be flat.

Rnds 2 - ___: Rep rnd 1 until you get the desired width of the cowl. (Sorry I did not count these rows either, before I gave this cowl to my friend!)

End off yarn and weave in all loose ends.

Flower Motif Scarf and Hat - Free Crochet Pattern

Flower Motif  Scarf and Hat 
Free Crochet Pattern by 
Mary Jane Hall

This scarf and Hat set is one of the patterns I created for Hobby Lobby a few years ago after they contacted me about doing designs to appear on their "tear sheets" in all 900 of their stores.  This was such an honor! These  were given as a free pattern to customers, hoping they would purchase the Hobby Lobby yarn I used to create the design.

I was kind of limited as to my creativity, because they would pick out the yarn and send it to me, saying to use those yarns to design something. Most of the yarn they sent was furry or fuzzy. I figured they wanted to showcase yarns that weren't selling as well.

I did 7 designs for their tear sheets and at one time Hobby Lobby had all the free patterns online, but they no longer have those posted. So that's why I am adding the free pattern here.  It is basically 6-petal flowers, connected together to form a scarf or hat with an edging in a different color. Hopefully you will
be able to print it out. As soon as I can, I will try to post a better picture. I want to say thank you to Alyssa Denen for modeling this for me. 

This pattern is copyrighted, so please do not sell the pattern, but you are welcome to sell your projects made from this pattern.

Crochet Curlique Projects

My "Candy Colored Bracelet" - this Fun Pattern is in the Book, Positively Crochet! - A Book with 50 Crochet Patterns. What A Bargin! Available on Amazon and EBay

I think one of the most unique and fun crochet stitches ever is the crochet curlique. Some people call it a spiral. I have a curlique scarf pattern in 2 of my Kooler Design/Leisure Arts booklets. The first one is Crochet Young and Trendy, published in June 2005. An editor at Leisure Arts told me later that booklet "sailed across the charts that first year". Then in 2015 they did a 2nd printing of that same booklet and titled it Crochet Fashions, but with a different project on the front cover. (A red poncho). This stitch is especially fun for a beginner! I love the fun curlique bracelet with the crochet balls and beads shown above in that first picture. Scroll down to see more curlique projects.

Working The Curlique

The way to work the spiral is to make a chain about 4"- 5" long, adding an inch or two to the length, and when you turn to work the first row, put 2 sc in the second chain from hook, and in each remaining chain across. It will magically start to curl on its on. If you want it to be even curlier, put 3 sc in each stitch instead of 2. You can do the same using all hdc or working dc into the chain. But only work 1 row and then end it off. Your hook size will also determine how tight or loose the curlique will be. If you've never done this, you should try making a curlique now. I promise, you'll be hooked! And I'm sure you can come up with projects of your own. 

Curlique Hair Tie
by Mary Jane Hall

I made the curlique hair ornament with a round stretchy hair thingy. You know what they are! These are cute to wear with a ponytail. 

Another fun, quick project using the curlique would be to make it into a key chain. When a beginner is learning to crochet, I think it is imperative that they have an actual project to work on, rather than sending them home to make a long chain. They will get more excited to be making quick projects they can make for themselves or as a gift for others. This will keep them motivated.

Purse Lover's Scarf

Purse Lover's Scarf by
Marry Jane Hall

I don't think I've met many women or girls who aren't crazy about purses. Call them whatever you want - purse, bag, tote, carry-all, hand bag, market bag, fanny pack, back pack, clutch purse or pocketbook, as my father in law used to say. There are 1,000's of different designs out there for all kinds of bags and new ones cropping up everyday. One thing for sure is that I don't think purses will ever go out of style. How would we carry all our personal items? Purses are just as much for style or a fashion statement as they are as a necessity.

Since purses are so popular with females of all ages, I had the idea to showcase some small applique purses to apply to a scarf. The true purse collector really loves this scarf! You could add the appliques to many other projects as well.

The appliques are not difficult to mak

The scarf itself is a nice crochet stitch pattern used a # 4, medium worsted weight yarn, accented with a # 3 cotton thread. I've always loved to mix and match yarns, which makes a project interesting. I used an even smaller crochet thread for the purse appliques. If you've never made a crochet thread project, please don't let this scare you! I went over 40 years of my life without ever attempting to make something out of thread. But with my special Opti light, it's so much easier than I thought to see the small stitches. If you have trouble seeing your stitches, then one of these lights can be life changing and well worth the investment. I think my floor lamp was around $100 a few years ago, and places like JoAnn Fabrics have sales on them once in a while.

If you are interested in this pattern, it is in my book, Positively Crochet, still available on Amazon and other online stores.

Zig Zag Striped Scarf - Free Crochet Pattern

Zig Zag Striped Scarf by Mary Jane Hall - Free Crochet Pattern

Back in 2006, not long after I had started designing professionally, a rep from Hobby Lobby contacted me, asking if I'd be interested in coming up with some original designs, using their yarn. The patterns would be in the form of "tear sheets". These are the free patterns you see in their stores. They offer them hoping you will use their yarn, which, by the way, is wonderful and high quality at an affortable price.  Other stores, such as Michaels and JoAnn Fabrics, do the same thing.  Of course I was thrilled and honored they considered me for this job.

I ended up doing a total of 7 designs using their beautiful yarns. That was such a fun time, as they would send me large boxes of different types of yarn, in many colors. Even though these were fun projects for me to do, many times I wished I could just go to the store and pick out other yarns with their "Yarn Bee" label, that I wanted to work with.

My patterns in the form of tear sheets are no longer in their 400+ stores across the nation, but for years you could find them there and on their website. I am not even sure if my patterns are at their site anymore, but I  found this one and will share it with you here.
You can substitute the yarn I used with any yarn of your choice. The yarn weight, your gauge and hook size do not matter when you're making a scarf. You can make it bulky or light weight and delicate. And if you want to make a "wrap" from this pattern, all you have to do is keep adding rows.

I hope you enjoy my pattern! If you share it, please link it back to me here, also giving me credit as the designer! Mary Jane Hall

Ma Chéie Scarf in Colorful Crochet Lace

The photos in the book do not capture the features of this lacy scarf with an arched edging. It is shown plaed on top of a black and white striped dress, which makes it difficult to see the pretty stitch pattern, so I am posting some of my own pictures. The edges are supposed to be curved into an arch, but by the time it was passed around to the tech editor, and stylist at the photo shoot,  I'm sure the scarf had stretched. I hope my personal photos do the scarf justice and give you ideas.

Colorful Crochet Lace - 22 lace garments and accessories. 100% Mulberry Silk yarn by Louisa Harding was used for this scarf.

Preppy Stripes Scarf - Free Beginner Crochet Pattern

This scarf was published in 2005 in one of my booklets called Crochet in Style by Kooler Designs Studio. Leisure Arts partnered with them as the publisher. The booklet is out of print now but can still be purchased on Amazon, eBay and at Kooler Design Studios here. Other projects in the book include Loops 'n Loops Scarf, Pink Filigree Capelet (sold on this blog as 1 individual psttern), Fabulous Fishnet Poncho, Fluffy Flowers Scarf and Circle Fringe Scarf.

Preppy Stripes Scarf by Mary Jane Hall

They told me that after 1 year the designs in the booklet would revert back to me and I could sell them in any way I wanted. I am offering this scarf as a FREE design here on my blog. It's perfect for a beginner! By the way skinny scarves were popular back in 2005 - 2006, but then phased out. I can now say that in 2015, I'm seeing all kinds of very skinny, long scarves on the runways!

I will post the free pattern later today when I get on my laptop and will do that this evening sincd I dont have the patern on my table that Im woring from right now. Please let me know you need the pattern in case I forget!

Please overlook the photo! I just took a picture of the photo that was in the book with my phone. I gave that scarf 10 years ago to my daughter and I'm sure it's really old by now or I would be glad to take a better picture. Normally, I take my own pictures of my designs before sending them to the publisher, but they need these designs so quickly that they wanted me to overnight them! I'll see if my daughter still has that scarf!



Preppy Stripes Scarf by Mary Jane Hall

Finished Size: approx 3" x 84"

Skill Level: Beginner

Materials

Medium Worsted Weight Yarn - # 4

    Beige (A) - 2 ounces/ 113 yards / 66 grams / 103 meters

    Rust (B) - 2 ounces / 177 yards / 57 grams / 162 meters

    Olive Green (C) - 2 ounces / 127 yards / 57 grams / 117 meters

    Dark Brown (D) - 2 ounces / 113 yards / 57 grams / 103 meters

Size K / 10 1/2 (6.5 mm) Crochet Hook

Gauge (in pattern)

7 sc and 5 rows = 2"

Color Sequence

Beige (A), Rust (B), Olive Green (C), Dark Brown (D)

Note: When changing yarn at end of row, pull new color through last 2 loops of last sc. Ch 1, turn. Start next row with new color. It can be a little tricky to hide the colors when weaving in the ends at the side edges. As you can see from my picture, some of the colors show on the sides.

Options

If you do not like working in the back loop only (blo), you can work regular sc or DC , working in both loops. Remember that working in the back loop only creates the ridge, but it also makes the scarf stretch. You may want to shorten the scarf, by working less rows than the pattern calls for.

Instructions

With D, Ch 11 loosely.

Row 1: SC in 2nd chain and in each chain across. Chain 1, turn.

Rows 2- 5: Sc in back loop of each sc across. Ch 1, turn.

Rows 6 - 10: With A repeat row 2

Rows 11- 15: With B repeat row 2

Rows 16 - 20: With C repeat row 2

Rows 21 - 25: With D repeat row 2

Rows 26 - 185: Repeat rows 6 - 25 eight times. Fasten off and weave in loose ends.

Note: If your stitches are loose it would be a good idea to use a fabric glue or OK TO WASH IT to keep ends from coming out. You can buy this fabric glue at JoAnn Fabric and Crafts, Hancock Fabrics or Hobby Lobby. It is especially important to use this if your stitches are loose, but if your stitches are  tight, you may not need to use it.

Fringe

Use forty 24" strands of beige yarn. Attach evenly across both ends of scarf, using 2 strands for each fringe. Fold strands in half, hook folded ends around hook, and pull through scarf; insert strands into loop pulled through and pull gently to tighten. 

Juliette Scarf in Colorful Crochet Lace by Mary Jan Hall

Today I want to feature the Juliette Scarf from Colorful Crochet Lace. I love crochet fans and had to have that stitch in this book.  Yarn is Patons Silk Bamboo in DK wt. I love the feel of that smooth yarn in my hands! Speaking of the yarn, can you tell yet that plum is one of my favorite colors?

 This looks fabulous wrapped around the neck in a circle like a cowl, because the fans are scalloped around the circle. Love the Anthrapologie look of the photo.

Coffee Lover's Scarf - Featured Crochet Pattern

by Mary Jane Hall

published in Positively Crochet!

 Anyone who knows me has a pretty good idea of how much I love coffee or anything related to coffee. I don't just have to have it in the mornings to come back to life, but I absolutely love the flavor of coffee. I can't resist coffee ice cream, espresso flavored desserts, coffee candy, and of course chocolate covered coffee beans. My sweet daughter in law, Ashley,  puts them in a stocking for me every year at Christmas. And to me, getting together with friends for coffee is one of the most wonderful things in life. Don't you think coffee tastes even better when you share it with a friend? 

This design would not appeal to everyone but the scarf itself, without the coffee cup applique, would be a quick, easy project for a beginner. You may even prefer to use the applique on something else. Regardless of who you make it for, any coffee lover would appreciate this as a gift.

 The Coffee Lover's Scarf pattern can be found in Positively Crochet!, a book with 50 patterns of  trendy crochet wearables and accessories. This book has a huge variety of projects for yourself and others to choose from, including several smaller patterns that would be great gifts!

Use the coffee cup as an applique elesewhere

Receiving mostly 5 star reviews, each pattern page has a positive, encouraging tip on life and relationships. Over the years I have spoken at several women's seminars or inspirational days on marriage and family relationships, and I'm happy to share things that can truly change your life. Several people have stated that they enjoy contemplating on these truths as they relax with their crochet. This gives me a wonderful feeling just knowing I may be able to help change someone's life just from a thought! So why not invite a few friends over for coffee and crochet? - two of my favorite things in life!

Ruffled Scarf - Free Pattern

Ruffled Scarf by Mary Jane Hall

I designed this scarf for Hobby Lobby a few years ago. They asked me to do this so they could use it as one of their tear sheets they give away at the stores. Of course yarn companies do this so people will hopefully use their yarn. Hobby Lobby's line of yarn is called Yarn Bee. Maybe you've seen it or even used it because they have over 500 stores nationwide.

This was a fun time for me as a freelance designer because they'd send me huge boxes of Yarn Bee yarn, which by the way, I love! If you've never used their yarns you would be surprised at how beautiful they are. I noticed that they don't carry quite as much of Yarn Bee they used to, but you won't be disappointed. I just love the yarn I used for this scarf. If you're looking for a yarn with some stretch (as for a garment) this is the perfect yarn, because it actually has some elastic in it!

They carry all the other brands like Bernat, Patons, Lion Brand, Omega nylon, Red Heart, etc and they carry lots of crochet books too. I had fun going through the beautiful yarns and they just let me decide what I wanted to make & what yarn looked best for that project. I believe I did 8 tear sheets for them altogether, which were also a free pattern on their website at one time. Since I've become aware they are no longer showing the patterns online, I decided to go ahead and post them here.

Darling Daisy Hat / Scarf - Positively Crochet!

Design by Mary Jane Hall

Darling Daisy Scarf/Hat

This runway inspired scarf could be made for a girl or an adult. I saw one similar in a Fall runway collection (to the floor) but it can be made in any length. Most helmet type hats have the flaps on the side, but I put flowers there instead. The runway version is knitted. My scarf  has a chain link, open stitch pattern, and flowers all over, which are placed on the outside
after the scarf /hat is finished.

Lion Brand wool yarn was used but you can use any # 4 medium worsted wt. yarn for this EASY project. Picture your daughter wearing this to school. The colors go with so many outfits and it's a great conversation piece!

This scarf has flowers attached to the ends instead of fringe and could be done in any color combination. The scarf is attached to the cap, and can be wrapped around the neck or hang down.This fun project has been popular with people of all ages!

Positively Crochet! (at right) is a book of 50 Trendy Crochet Garments and Accessories. You can buy it for a little over $15.00! That's a fabulous price for that many patterns. This book contains projects for scarves, sweaters, hats, jewelry, shrugs, children's items (including a couple of Mother - Daughter projects) + many more quick and easy gift ideas for anyone. You can read the many 5 * reviews on Amazon. To order this book and read more about it, click on the book cover in my right column.

Leapin' Lizards Scarf

Leapin' Lizards Scarf

I'm sorry! I know this is my own original design but I have to say, I love this scarf! One reason is because it's green (one of my favorite colors) and the other reason is because it's textured. I've always loved textured crochet. It's made with a very pretty Yarn Bee bulky yarn called Icelandic Jewels by Hobby Lobby. This yarn has small specks of other colors, kind of like a tweed, but the colors are tiny little shiny ribbons! I'm not even sure if they still carry that yarn.

This scarf was published in a book called Big Hook Crochet. I have to tell you, if you're looking for a quick project, this is not it! I love designing quick and easy projects, but this scarf with basically all bobble stitches is pretty time consuming. I still love it though!

Big Hook Crochet

When I see this scarf, it reminds me of my sister being in the hospital. I sat right there next to her hospital bed working away. You know how you think of where you were when you see or hear about certain things from your past? You know exactly what you were doing and where you were at that moment. For instance, when JFK was killed I was sitting in class. I'll never forget that or Mrs McClain. She used to tell me I had pretty eyes. That was a long time ago, but I have never forgotten it!

Flower Scarf by Mary Jane Hall - Recently Published

The Lavender Flower Scarf with Dark Purple trim was also published in the book, Go Crafty Crochet Accessories. My previous post has photos of the other scarf I have in this book, and is called the Two Color Scarf.  I call it the Circles Scarf, since it is made up entirely of small circles.                                                     

Flower Scarf by Mary Jane Hall

I think the Flower Scarf turned
 out stunning with the dark and light color combination.

This was also an idea from my artist daughter, Jamie Vaduva. She did several sketches of scarves for me about 5 years ago, and I sent this one off as a submission for the first time this year.

Scroll down to see the book these 2 scarves were published in.  The publisher is Soho Publishing based in New York City, and they also are the publishers of Vogue Knitting magazine. This accessory book has 11-12 patterns for hats, scarves, purses, a shawl and wrist warmers, by various designers. I recently saw this book at JoAnns.

Two Color Scarf by Mary Jane Hall - Recently Published

I'm excited to share a photo of one of my scarf designs that was recently published in a book called Go Crafty Crochet Accessories. In fact I have 2 scarf designs in this book. The first one is a scarf with small circles, not much bigger than a quarter, called the Two Color Scarf. The second design is a Lavender Flower Scarf with Dark Purple Trim. I will feature that scarf in a separate post. The publisher is Soho Publishing in New York City, which is the same publisher of Vogue Knitting and Knit Simple magazines. They also used to produce Crochet Today! magazine.

Photo from the Book (scroll down to see front cover)

My artist daughter, Jamie Vaduva, did a sketch of a scarf with circles about 5 years ago and this year was the first time I submitted it to anyone. I really liked Jamie's color combination, which was more of a medium green and medium blue. After my submission was accepted, the editor wanted me to do the scarf in the light teal, and lime green, as pictured in the photo above. When she sent me the yarn, I didn't like the color combination at all, but as I made the scarf it started to grow on me. I really do like it now and hope you do too! If you'd like to order this book with 11-12 accessories (scarves, hats, bags, wrist warmers), you can order it at Knit Picks here. Go to Knit Picks homepage to see their beautiful, but inexpensive yarns.

Bundle Up With the Best Winter Accessories

I think right now is a good time to be talking about bundling up, don't you? Not only is it frigidly COLD in the north, but I'm sure you've heard of the unusually cold ice and snow storms in the south. We're having an extra cold winter here in Ohio, but some of my family in Texas are getting snow and ice as well. Maybe you've seen them in the stores this winter, but ear muffs have become all the rage this year, according to Elle Magazine. (click to see slide show of winter accessories) I've seen both knitted and crocheted ear muffs in stores.

I actually crocheted around some ear muffs 5 years ago, but never did anything with the pattern. Well, really, I made the ear muffs to match the "Fluffy Flowers Scarf" that was published in my booklet, Crochet In Style     in 2005. I just didn't get the ear muffs mailed to Kooler Designs in time to be in the booklet. But I'm happy to say that I own the designs now and can do whatever I want to with them. I decided to have both the scarf and matching ear muffs published in the 2100 Crochet A Day Calender. So if you have this year's calender, look it up! See photo below of both, as well as photo from the booklet. Scroll down.
