Uniquely Textured Cowls with Free Crochet Patterns

Crochet cowls are very original by definition, right? After all, there is no other winter accessory that protects us from the cold that well. Cowls should be soft, chunky, and warm, obviously, but they have to be stylish as well! That’s why we have prepared this selection of Unique Textured Cowls for you to enjoy. Check out the free patterns under the links below and follow us on Facebook Fanpage and Pinterest for more creative ideas!

Diamond Scale Cowl free crochet pattern

Crocodile stitch, because this is what makes MelissaFleur’s design so unique, is mostly used in fingerless gloves. We call them dragon gloves, as the stitch resembles scales. As you can see, though, this technique looks just as good in other projects – a cowl, for example. You can be sure it’s warm and thick but without any texture on the inside.

I absolutely loved braided and woven scarves when I first saw them! A double layered Braided Cowl is another variation on this concept – this time the whole cowl is just a big, warm, cozy braid. It’s fluffy and looks really stunning, both in natural colors and in bolder hues. It’s easy and fast to make, so start today!
