Harlowe Cowl | Tunisian Crochet Pattern

Harlowe Cowl | Tunisian Crochet Pattern

Beautiful texture, open lacework, and incredible drape, all in just two skeins of fingering weight yarn!

The Harlowe Cowl is an adventurous beginner-friendly Tunisian crochet pattern featuring the pointed silhouette of a triangular shawl with the ease and comfort of a slip-on cowl.

Designed for makers who love exploring different stitch patterns, Harlowe combines Tunisian knit stitch, simple stitch, ribbing, and Arrowhead stitch to create a fabric full of texture and beautiful lace details.

The cowl is worked flat using a combination of shaping techniques to create its distinctive silhouette, then partially seamed to form a comfortable, open V-shaped neckline.

Whether you're looking to expand your Tunisian crochet skills or have two beautiful skeins of fingering weight yarn waiting for the perfect project, Harlowe is a wonderful addition to your handmade wardrobe.
