Crocheted Neckwarmer Cowl: an accessory for the Samba hat An elegant textured cowl with cozy wool and unique construction
This cowl is designed to be the perfect companion piece to the crocheted hat. I am using the same pleasant, woolly, and cozy yarn (Samba) and hook, but I have adapted the pattern so that it is less dense while still being beautifully warm.
I have played with a combination of Puff stitches and Single Crochet, which creates a lightweight yet relief-like, textured, and effective pattern. A key feature this time is the ribbing pattern made of Single Crochet Back Loop Only, which ensures the set’s flexibility and coherence.
The cowl is crocheted in rows, not in the round, and the resulting rectangle is seamed along the sides in a non-traditional, contoured, and sculptural way. This unique construction is not a classic "tunnel" but, thanks to its interesting shaping and texture, it can be worn in multiple ways, making it not only a beautiful colorful accessory but also a versatile and warm companion. Due to the simple pattern repeat and clearly defined rows, this pattern is suitable even for beginners!
Crochet yourself a warm and stylish accessory that will carry you through the cold weather with elegance!
I wish you much joy with your crocheting, and I look forward to seeing photos of your colorful, cosy winter hat and an original neckwarmer cowl!
