Free pattern: All Weather Cowl
I’m excited to announce another free pattern in collaboration with Galler Yarns.
Download All Weather Cowl Pattern PDF.
Using one jumbo skein of Galler Yarns Aztec Boucle, an organic cotton yarn with just a little bit of nylon added, this cowl is a great all weather accessory. The eyelets created by the stitch patterns and the cotton yarn make it breathable in warmer weather, but the length allows you to wrap it around three times for warmth in cold weather.
This is a reversible stitch pattern that can be made even by Tunisian crochet newbies. It doesn’t hurt that the yarn texture will cover any mistakes you make 
.
The All Weather Cowl is crocheted across lengthwise and then seamed.
Since you will have 80 inches (203 cm) of stitches on your hook, I recommend using a Tunisian crochet hook with a flexible cable. If you don’t already have some on hand, I sell them in my Etsy shop here.
The Aztec Boucle works up nicely and creates a great gift for any eco-conscious person on your list. I sell a kit in my Etsy shop that includes a jumbo skein of Aztec Boucle in Ecru along with your choice of bamboo Tunisian crochet hook with a long cord.
You can also download this pattern on Ravelry here and on Craftsy here. Enjoy!
Lovely!!!! This kinda looks like the Gaptastic Cowl … kinda seed stitch looking!
Thanks, Nicky! There are actually little mesh eyelets in this
.
Pretty cowl!

Thanks, Lee Ann!
I cannot access the pdf pattern. All I get is Google.
Thanks for stopping by, Jean. When you click the link to download, you should be able to save the file as a PDF from the file menu on the top left. Let me know if you are still having problems downloading.
Your cowl looks great. Simple but effective. Really suits you too
Thanks so much, Tracy!
I’m having trouble with these instructions:
If you follow along with the pattern, you will need to yarn over and draw up a loop twice in the same space between bars. That will lead you to having 3 loops on the hook.
Do you have a diagram or video for these instructions?
Thanks for stopping by, Skipper! Actually, you have it exactly right. You will have 3 loops on the hook for each space between bars. On the return row, you will draw through 4 loops. I don’t have a video or diagram available. Let me know if you have any other questions.
How do I get this free pattern?
Thanks for stopping by, Linda. You can click on the link that says “Download…” at the top, or the links to Ravelry and Craftsy at the bottom if you’d prefer to store in your libraries there.
Hi, I love this cowl. I am in the process of making it now, I am struggling at the end of the return for row 1 and and the beginning of row 2. When I skip the first bar and first space at the start of row 2, I am losing a stitch each row and the decrease is obvious……..any thoughts as to what I might be doing wrong??? I appreciate any help you have to offer. Thank you for sharing this pattern
Thanks for stopping by, Katie. My best guess is that you are not adding the stitch at the end as you should. Basically, the two rows are offset – one starts in the first space and skips the last, and the other skips the first space and finishes in the last.
I am trying to make this but get confused on the part where you have to insert the hook into the same space twice and pull up a loop. I must be doing something wrong because all this does is wrap more s
yarn around my hook. This isn’t a separate loop. Please help.
Thanks for stopping by, jmcows442. You should insert your hook into the space, yarn over and pull up a loop, yarn over, then insert it back into the same space. You are right that if you just insert it twice, you will not pick up stitches in that space.
Would love to make this..but need one of your needles and when I go to your Etsy shop, I am not sure which needle to purchase?
Ooops …. nevermind, I see the required needle size now..on the instructions, where else?

I’m glad you found the size, Fay!
