Sunset Cowl by Alicia LaFontaine
What is Being Made
The Sunset Cowl is an intermediate-level crochet cowl designed by Alicia LaFontaine. This finished piece measures 31 inches around and 10 inches tall, making it a versatile neckwear accessory suitable for layering and everyday wear. The cowl is worked in the round without turning at the end of any round, creating a seamless tubular construction.
Crochet Techniques Used
This pattern employs fundamental crochet techniques appropriate for an intermediate crafter. The cowl is constructed by working continuously in the round, which eliminates the need for joining rounds with slip stitches between each row. The pattern includes repeating stitch sequences that can be modified to adjust the finished dimensions of the cowl. Crafters have the flexibility to customize the width by adding or subtracting multiples of 2 stitches during the initial chain foundation, and they can adjust the length by adding or subtracting repeats of specific rounds before continuing with the pattern as written.
Stitches Used
The primary stitch used in the Sunset Cowl is the double crochet (dc). An important pattern note indicates that chain-2 (ch-2) does not count as a stitch throughout the pattern, which affects how stitches are counted and worked in each round.
Materials and Tools
- Yarn: Approximately 400 yards of DK weight yarn in a fiber of your choice. Featured yarn option includes Herrschners Pastry Plus.
- Hook: Size US-H 8/5.00mm crochet hook
- Additional Tools: Scissors and a tapestry needle for weaving in ends
Gauge
The pattern specifies a gauge of 9 double crochets and 4 rows over 2 inches. Correct gauge is essential to achieving the finished dimensions and ensuring the yardage requirements are accurate. Any deviation from the specified width or length will likely result in a difference in the yardage of yarn necessary to complete your project.
