Thirtyseven Cowl by Emma Wilkinson

What Is Being Made

Thirtyseven is a bright and colorful crochet cowl designed by independent designer Emma Wilkinson. This finished garment combines warmth and fashion appeal, featuring a striking visual texture created through specialized stitch techniques. The cowl's name draws inspiration from Adele's album naming convention and reflects the designer's creative approach to pattern development.

Crochet Techniques and Stitches

This intermediate-level crochet pattern showcases front post stitches as its primary technique, which create a distinctive crochet brioche look. The brioche effect produces a textured, dimensional appearance that mimics the aesthetic of brioche knitting while working entirely in crochet. The pattern is written in US crochet terms and includes a designated stitch pattern worked over rows 1-3 that establishes the gauge and visual structure of the finished piece.

The pattern includes two sections with optional variations, allowing crafters to personalize their finished cowl based on personal preferences without affecting the overall outcome or fit of the garment.
