About Of Knitting

Like so many others, my love of all things yarn came from my mother at a young age. After retiring she decided to open a yarn shop in a small tourist town. A new world of yarn and design was opened as a result. I started creating my own patterns for the shop focusing on trendy items that could be worn every day. I love to use simple stitches and techniques to create the illusion of a more advanced piece. Of Knitting blog was created as a place to share these patterns along with tips and techniques. Most of my knitting is done from my little a-frame in central Pennsylvania where I live with my boyfriend and our dog.

Sunday Stroll Cowl

Crochet Cowl Pattern by Of Knitting

The Sunday Stroll is the perfect fall cowl with a little twist (or slant in this case!) in colors that compliment both each other and any fall wardrobe.

It is a fun, easy crochet cowl pattern that is crocheted completely, and the slanted slip stitches are added at the end. 

Front and Back Post Double Crochet stitches create the ribbing at the top and bottom with the body of the cowl being a moss or linen stitch.

For another easy, fun fall cowl check out the Adley Crochet Cowl on the Of Knitting Blog.

Notes 

  • This pattern is worked in the round with the cowl being completed and the slanting stripes added at the  end.                                                                                                                             
  • The top and bottom rib stitch rows are joined at the end of every row with a slip stitch, while the middle section is crocheted in one continuous round. You may wish to use a stitch marker and move it up each round.  
  • The Chain 2 in the beginning of the ribbing rows will act as a Double Crochet stitch and will be where the rows join.
  • Pattern uses US crochet abbreviations.

  • Repeat the Slip Stitch Slant every 14 STS creating 7 equally spaced Slants.
  • Weave in all remaining ends and enjoy your Cowl!
