The Chunky Cowl and Collar is a quick and easy crochet cowl pattern. With lots of color choices, you can make this crochet cowl to match your winter coats, or get ready for a market.
You’ll use simple stitches in the round with simple shaping to create a cowl that fits the natural shape from the shoulders to the jaw.
Add a button to the overlap section to wear the cowl as one piece for added warmth. When leaving it open, it can be worn two different ways. You can roll the top down and it looks like a collar that will fit over the top of a coat or jacket without a hood. Flip the Chunky Cowl upside down for another look.

Yarn
I chose Lion Brand Hometown USA as it’s a super soft acrylic that can be used for numerous projects. It is now called Hometown Yarn and is a super bulky #6 weight. It is available in 51 colors, which come in solids, multis, neons, twists and tweeds. All colors except for the tweeds (94% acrylic, 6% rayon) are 100% acrylic. You’ll received 81 yards / 74 meters per 142 grams. The print colors are a bit shorter at 64 yards/ 59 meters.
All colors are in stock, except for three at the Lion Brand site, and costs $5.99 at the time of this update (12/3/22)
