this is really neat! I love the cowl! I was very surprised that the pattern was on here. That is so cool!!!!!!
Thank you! I try to post free patterns every couple months… Check out the free pattern tab at the top of the page…
okay! that is great! 8D hugs
Is there anyway to print this pattern without all the pictures to save paper and ink.
Yes Just copy and paste the section you want to print on to a word document. Then you can print from there
Reblogged this on ELK Studio – Handcrafted Crochet Designs and commented:
I’ve been waiting to get this free cowl pattern but hurry, it’s only for a limited time!
YAY!!!!!!
: ) !!!!!
Super cute! Thanks for the pattern
You are welcome!
Love the cowl! Can I ask, when I have joined the first round and then chained 2 does the first hdc go into this stitch or the next one?
It goes in the next St,,, the ch 2 or ch 4 is listed as the counting as the first HDC or first TRC now and throughout… This always means you treat that as the first st and work the next st in the following st… Thanks for asking!!! Hope you love your cowl.
Many thanks Beatrice! Kind regards
Any time!
I changed it to make it a little more clear in instructions…Check and see if it is better now…
Yes, that fine. Even though I am a experienced crocheter, I find that this first stitch can be a problem i.e. I had a pattern the other day which counted the Ch2 as the first stitch but you were meant to still go into this first stitch, which was’nt stated clearly. Thanks for your time on this. Kind regards
I know… It is always confusing!!! I taught Crochet for a Jr college… That is always the hardest area to teach a new crocheter… then,,, if the pattern is unclear it is a mess… I always put the st count at the end of the row… thats what confirms I am doing it right when I am unsure of the pattern… Thanks again for trying my pattern!
Nice…
Anna
Thank You!!
AWESOME pattern Elena! Thank for so much for a great tutorial x
Thank You!

Wow… Thank you so much!!! Your Link and Share is truly a blessing!
Pretty cowl! I love the big rose, too. Thanks for sharing this at CAL link party 🙂
Thanks for hosting!
Beautiful cowl. Love it thanks
Thank YOU!!
I really like this cowl n you showed it in my favorite color purple. What yarn did you use! Thank you so much for giving this pattern free! What a blessing for us seniors.
Thank you for loving my work… I believe that purple one is made from Deborah Norville Serenity Chunky Weight Yarn in Parachute Purple…. I made several of these cowls and this brand was my favorite to work with on this pattern! I have a hat pattern coming out this week that will also be for free…
Hi! How can I get this pattern before u take it away? I only have a tablet n printer. Thank you, Valerie
The pattern will be up for several more weeks… Then will be for sale on Etsy in pdf form. If you cant print it, maybe write it out. If you are not able to get it printed or written before it goes to Etsy, let me know and I will email it to you or something…
beautiful creations
Thank you so much for this pattern, Elena 🙂
I made it up as part of an anniversary present to a dear friend’s daughter, and she absolutely loved it! It was straightforward to make, and is very comfortable to wear, I’ve been told – so many thanks for your generosity in providing the pattern for free 🙂
Oh thank you for your kind words! I am so happy you and she likes it!
wish we could print just the pattern and not all the advertisements and comments. 🙁
All you need to do is highlight the directions and copy and paste it to a word document… Then you only get the directions and you can print it from there… If this doesnt work… I will do it and email it to you…
Thank you so much for sharing your pattern, it’s really lovely. I’ve tried to make a flower only once before and failed miserably. Even though I wasn’t able to get 12 ch 3 spaces, turns out 9 or 10 spaces make a perfect flower as well. Hooray 🙂
Glad you figured it out… I hope you enjoy your cowl!
Thanks, so much, for this pattern, just printed off, and going to a show tomorrow , and will start this pattern while on the road, hope I can master it, it looks very pretty, thank you so much for sharing this pattern, I have
been crocheting and knitting for quite a few years, and it is therapy for my arthritis in my hands, and my mind, it works well on all kinds of moods, (ha). I always take my bags with me when we go anyplace, and used to be that my husband complained because I was always taking my bags, but now, he does not, because he knows where ever we end up, I am satisfied to have something in my hands, while he is doing his thing, thanks again. look forward to hearing from you again, my email, is [email protected], would love to hear about something new and easy, thanks again, and have a wonderful week-end.
Thanks for checking in and trying out my cowl!!! I travel with projects everytime! You can also check in on Facebook if you havent already… I have a daily free pattern find series and you may find some things you like there…
I will be posting new patterns soon and we will all be doing a crochet a long together in January… Maybe you can participate.

I want to know how long the cowl should be to look like the picture.
The cowl is approx 32″ around and 9″ tall
could you make pattern print friendly without all the comments thank you
You can copy and paste the section you want off my page (the pattern part only) and drop it into a word document… That way you only have the part you want.
I’M NEW AT THIS COMPUTER STUFF I WILL HAVE SOMEONE SHOW ME HOW THANK YOU
No problem..Once you get it… its great…
Just finished this cowl in black & I love it!!! I used Lion Brand Hometown USA. Just discovered this yarn. So soft. Using 2skeins I was able to make the cowl & hat to wear to church tomorrow. Had a bit of a prob understanding the flower, but with persistance, I came thru. Thanks for the pattern. Will be making a lot of these.
Yay… so glad you liked it … I love hometown usa… I have used it several times… Yes the flower is a little tricky but once you get it it will be easy…Thank you!!
I love this cowl and would love to make it, but is there anyway to print this pattern without printing all the pictures to save on paper and ink. Am I missing the print button. Thanks you
Whoa I enjoy reading your content articles, saved to bookmarks!
Wonderful!!
Valuable information shared. I am very happy to read this article.
thank you for giving us good info. appreciate this post.
You are welcome!!
Hi, each time I click on the green Free Pattern link (associated with the lovely pink infinity cowl) – it directs me to the Kelly Blue Book page. I’d like to be able to save the pattern. TIA.
That is an advertising link from an outside source… You dont need to click on anything on that page to get the pattern… it is all on that page..
I made this cowl. it was fun. didn’t understand how to make the flower, so I made my own flower. it turned very nice. love the pattern
Great… Any flower will work… I bet your is perfect!!
I have a question. Do you know approximately how many yards just the cowl is? I have someone that wants one but doesn’t want the flower. Thanks! 🙂
No,,, I dont have the yardage separated… But the flower is only a small portion of the total.
Thanks for hosting once again…Love participating!!!
