Celestia Crochet Cowl Scarf- A cowl and scarf in one.
This cowl scarf crochet pattern is a unique cowl design that looks like a scarf wrapped around your neck but is actually a cowl. Interesting, isn’t it?
The pattern includes 3 sizes, Toddler, Child, and Adult. How about making a mommy and me pair? Wouldn’t that be cool?
You can use any worsted weight yarn for this scarf. I think it would look lovely in Caron Cakes
This crochet pattern has been designed keeping both style and ease of use in mind. Since it is a cowl, you just have to slip it on and you are ready to go.

If the straight part measures 3 ¼ inches or more, you can proceed to the next round but if it is shorter, repeat rounds 3 and 4 as well. If this straight part turns out shorter, your cowl will scrunch up and not lie flat.
Note: Once you are done with your straight rows, you will join the 2 ends and start working in the round and not in rows any more.

Adding Fringes to Cowl Scarf Crochet Pattern
Take a strip of cardboard 4 ¼ inches tall. Wind yarn around it up to 20 times as shown in pic 3 above, cut it along one edge of the cardboard. You now have strands of the same length.
See pictures 4 & 5 above to learn how to add a fringe.
Take 2 strands and attach them to the bottom corner of your triangle and work your way up. If you are using variegated yarn, make sure you work on both sides at the same time to get the colors flowing right.
Finishing the Cowl Scarf
Weave in any tails left and your crochet scarf cowl is ready to wear.
