I like crochet cowls, they are so much more practical than scarfs – just slip it over your head and you are warm and cosy straight away with no ends to tuck in. The Neck warmer gives you protection for the winds and makes your neck really safe and warm.

This Neck Warmer is a super luxurious cowl with an awesome pattern will make a great addition to your wardrobe. It is crocheted in a beautiful and relaxing crossed v-shaped stitches in gorgeous and colourful soft yarn, it is both fabulous to make and wear!

The pattern is available here below for free. It comes with a video guide as well.

Do you love the Scarfs crocheting? You would may like to try also this pattern for the Hooded Scoodies:

This pattern is made for intermediate crochets - but I think that with my video tutorials everyone will manage to crochet this amazing pattern. If you don't understand any of my instructions, don't worry I am here for you - enter the comments at the end of this post.

This 3D crochet pattern with crossed stitches looks phenomenally and it is made from just one skein of Waltz Vlna Heb. Wonderful gradients of white, pink, burgundy and grey allows the yarn to do all of the colour changing for you.

I love this wonderful yarn because it is not too thick, just the right thickness to show off some texture. The texture on this scarf is created using crossed triple crochets and the bobbles.

I made this cowl 21 – 22 inches around which is a perfect size for women and teenage girls for a neck warmer. The pattern has a good stretch. You can easily adjust the size to be smaller or wider by reducing the amount of chains.

Let’s get started to make this perfect pattern!

The crochet hook 4.0 mm.

Size: bellow there is a pattern for woman size, the head measurement 22 inch / 56 cm, this one fits perfectly to me.

The neck warmer can easily be adapted to a smaller size or bigger size just by making the starting chain longer or shorter.

Pattern Notes

1) Before you start take a measurement of your head. Crochet the number of chains until you reach the measurement taken.

2) The direction shown are for woman/teenage size 22 inch head measurement but can be easily converted into bigger size or smaller size – just by making the starting chain longer or shorter.

3) The number of chains when you start has to be a multiple of 8! I started with 80 chains. If you want to make your cowl smaller use 72 ch / bigger use 88 ch etc.

4) A Ch 4 at beg of the row counts as one trc throughout.

5) Cowl is worked in rounds with right side facing at all times

6) Measurement: 22 inch [56cm] circumference – size will fit a teen/adult: 10.63 inch / 27 cm wide and inches 8.66 inch / 22cm high

HOW TO CROCHET NECK WARMER / COWL / WOMAN SIZE

The first group of 4 trc stitches is finished - there are 2 pairs of triples.
2 first triples/the first pair you made are placed in front of next 2 triples/the second pair (these are hidden behind 2 trc)

Let's start the second group of 4 trc.
