London Court Cowl - Free Cowl Crochet Pattern

Hello my crafty friend! As I write this blog post, we are currently in the middle of winter and Boston just experienced a powerful winter storm, meaning all I want to create are warm wearing crochet items that will bring us warmth during these next cold months. 

Today I would like to introducing you to the London Court Cowl which has a lot of beautiful detail while keeping your nice and toasty. Fun fact, the name was inspired by a photo my husband took while we were in London. In that photo it was a dreary summer day, we found ourselves in front of beautiful architecture and decided to capture the moment with a picture. Now you must be thinking, how does that photo tie together with this cowl? Honestly, it has to do with the feeling of that picture. While the day was dreary due to the rain, we were filled with so much warmth and happiness which symbolizes the London Court Cowl. If you live in the northeast region of the U.S. like me, you know winter months can be tough, but when you are wearing the London Court Cowl, know that you will definitely stay warm while being super happy you created it. Alright lets get started with the beautiful cowl!

London Court Cowl

Here we are beginning from the bottom of the cowl

Ch 92

R1) Dc into the second ch from the hook, dc in the next 90 ch [91]

R2) Ch 2, turn your work, dc in the next 90 st [91]

In R3-R8 you will be creating the BPdc and FPdc

R3) Ch 2, turn your work, *BPdc in the next st, FPdc in the next st* you will be repeating this until the end of the row [91]

R4) Ch 2, turn your work, *FPdc in the next st, BPdc in the next st* you will be repeating this until the end of the row [91]

Next you will be repeating R3 & R4 until you reach R9

In R9-R10 you will be dc

R9) Ch 2, turn your work, dc in the next 90 st [91]

R10) Ch 2, turn your work, dc in the next 90 st [91]

In R11-R12 you will be continuing the BPdc and FPdc pattern 

R11) Ch 2, turn your work, *BPdc in the next st, FPdc in the next st* you will be repeating this until the end of the row [91]

R12) Ch 2, turn your work, *FPdc in the next st, BPdc in the next st* you will be repeating this until the end of the row [91]

At this point of the pattern you will be repeating R11 & R12 until you reach R26

In R26 you will be creating the dc, which will represent the top of the cowl

R9) Ch 2, turn your work, dc in the next 90 st [91]

The final step is to stitch the sides together to create the cowl shape. You can either use a tapestry needle to stitch your sides together or use the slip stitch technique, this part all depends on your personal preference and you will get the same result.
