Product Description
I love that a cowl just stays put! Put it on and your'e done! If you know me at all, you'll know that I LOVE things staying done. Think about it--how much of your life stays done? Laundry? Dishes? Cooking? Going to work? Driving? Filling up the car with fuel? Shaving? Cutting your hair? Washing the car, children or your hair--anything?(Thank goodness for the last one as I've had my share of not-so-good haircuts!)You get my point. And a cowl is less likely than a scarf to get shut in the car door--yep,done that and walked away until I was dragged back like a dog on a short leash!
The flower motif is simple, yet elegant. And the soft drape of the yarn makes for a lightweight yet cozy accessory.
This simple 5 page pattern includes: -detailed and clear instructions for making the motifs and joining them as you go! -placement diagrams to assist you in joining - allows you to easily adjust the length and width and even make it a scarf, table runner, or bed spread. Use your imagination!
Infinity Blossom Cowl by Susan Carlson
Project Overview
The Infinity Blossom Cowl is an intermediate-level crochet design that creates a sophisticated, wearable accessory through the strategic joining of modular motifs. This downloadable PDF pattern guides crafters through constructing a cowl measuring 31 inches in length and 9 inches in width, with a finished circumference of 62 inches when joined into a ring.
Construction Technique
This pattern employs a modular construction method, where individual motifs are created and joined progressively rather than worked as a single piece. The design features two distinct motif types that work together to create the finished cowl structure.
- Flower Motifs: These primary design elements measure 4.5 inches from picot to picot. Crafters complete all flower motifs first, joining them as they go according to the placement diagram provided in the pattern.
- Diamond Motifs: These secondary elements measure 2 inches diagonally from tip to tip and are worked into the center spaces created by the joined flowers. Like the flowers, diamonds are joined as you go during construction.
Customization Options
The modular design of the Infinity Blossom Cowl offers flexibility for customization. Crafters can easily adjust the length or width of the finished cowl by adding or subtracting the number of motifs in their arrangement. Additionally, the pattern can be adapted into a scarf by omitting the final joining step that creates the ring, with the option to add extra rows for extended length.
Materials and Tools
This pattern calls for specific materials to achieve the intended drape and appearance:
- Yarn: Serenity by Deborah Norville, Fine (2-ply sport weight), 100% Microfiber in Mountain Heather colorway. Two skeins are required to complete the pictured cowl.
- Hook: F (4.0mm) crochet hook
- Notions: Tapestry needle for weaving in ends and assisting with motif joining
Difficulty Level
Rated as intermediate, this pattern assumes familiarity with fundamental crochet stitches and techniques. Crafters should be comfortable with picot stitches, as these decorative elements define the flower motifs. Understanding how to join motifs as you work is essential to successfully completing this design, making it suitable for those with some crochet experience.
Yarn Weight Specifications
The pattern utilizes sport-weight yarn (4-ply), which creates a fabric with excellent stitch definition ideal for showcasing the dimensional flower and diamond motifs. This lighter yarn weight contributes to the cowl's drape and wearability while maintaining structural integrity through the modular joining technique.
