Grace Cowl by Samantha Bartley
What Is Being Made
The Grace Cowl is a crocheted neck accessory designed by Samantha Bartley of Creating In The Mitten. This cowl is a finished garment measuring 14 inches across at the bottom, 10.5 inches across at the top, and 6 inches tall when laid flat, making it a versatile piece suitable for layering or wearing as a standalone neckwear item.
Craft and Primary Technique
This project is created using crochet as the primary construction method. The design incorporates textured post stitches that create visual interest and dimension in the finished cowl, making it an ideal project for crocheters looking to expand their stitch repertoire beyond basic single and double crochet techniques.
Stitches Used
The Grace Cowl pattern utilizes the following crochet stitches:
- Double Crochet (dc) — the foundational stitch used throughout the project
- Front Post Double Crochet (fpdc) — a textured stitch that works around the post of stitches from previous rows, creating raised vertical lines
- Back Post Double Crochet (bpdc) — the counterpart to front post double crochet, worked on the back of the fabric for dimensional texture
- Chain (ch) — used for foundation and turning chains
- Slip Stitch (slst) — used for joining and finishing
Materials and Yarn Specifications
The Grace Cowl requires 240 yards of DK weight yarn. The designer used Handmade Home Fibers in the Grace Kelly colorway on their DK Fuzzy Base for the original sample, though any DK weight yarn of similar yardage will work for this project. A 5mm crochet hook is recommended, though the pattern notes that you should use the hook size needed to match the specified gauge.
Gauge and Sizing
Proper gauge is essential for achieving the correct finished dimensions. The pattern specifies a gauge of 13 double crochets by 7 rows over a 4-inch by 4-inch swatch. Additionally, 10 front post or back post double crochets measure 2 inches in width, which is important for maintaining the textured stitch pattern proportions.
Additional Supplies
Beyond yarn and hook, you will need a tapestry needle for weaving in ends, and a measuring tape for checking gauge and finished dimensions during construction.
