Product Description
This one-skein, crocheted cowl pattern has a simple 16 stitch and 8 round repeat which makes it easy to memorize and creates a simple and elegant piece.
It uses filet crochet to create lace holes that work up in a spiral around the cowl, alongside Herringbone Trebles that create a flat, drapey fabric.
The pattern gives hook sizes, gauge information estimated circumference and depth of finished object over seven yarn weights (heavily laceweight, 4ply/fingering, heavy 4 ply/fingering, sportweight, DK, aran/worsted, chunky/bulky).
Details are given on the likely circumference for the number of pattern repeats and likely finished depth. This is given for each yarn weight.
Yarn: One 100g skein of any weight from heavy laceweight to aran/worsted. You can create whatever fabric density you like and in any fibre of your choice, so long as you like the resulting fabric.
Hook: Various depending on yarn weight used. Sizes and gauges are suggested in the pattern.
Positivity Spiral Cowl by Fay Dashper-Hughes
What is Being Made
The Positivity Spiral Cowl is a crocheted one-skein cowl designed by Fay Dashper-Hughes. This versatile accessory is worked in the round and can be created using a wide range of yarn weights, from heavy laceweight through to chunky yarns. The pattern is suitable for beginners and can be expanded to use 2 or more skeins for a larger cowl if desired.
Crochet Techniques Used
The Positivity Spiral Cowl employs two primary crochet techniques to create its distinctive appearance and structure:
- Filet Crochet: This technique is used to create the lace-like spiralled pattern that forms the visual centerpiece of the design. Filet crochet creates an open, decorative fabric through strategic placement of stitches and spaces.
- Herringbone Trebles: These specialty stitches naturally lean to the left, which enhances the overall spiral effect of the cowl. Herringbone trebles create a flattened, textured fabric with excellent drape and movement, making the finished cowl sit beautifully when worn.
Stitches Used
The pattern is based on a simple 16-stitch, 8-round repeat structure. The primary stitches featured are herringbone trebles combined with filet crochet elements. This straightforward stitch pattern means the design looks far more complex and intricate than it actually is to execute, making it an excellent beginner-friendly project despite its sophisticated appearance.
Materials and Yarn Weight Options
The Positivity Spiral Cowl is designed to work with any favourite yarn ranging from heavy laceweight up to chunky weight. Suitable yarn weights include heavy laceweight, 4 ply, sportweight, DK, worsted, and UK chunky. The pattern provides specific guidance on the number of repeats needed and the resulting cowl circumference and depth for each yarn weight option, allowing crafters to customize their finished piece based on their chosen materials.
Difficulty Level
This cowl pattern is rated as beginner difficulty, making it an accessible project for those new to crochet. The simple stitch repeat and straightforward construction mean the pattern is easy to pick up and put down, perfect for crafters working on the project in short sessions.
