Christmas is just around the corner! Hooray! Are you ready though? Are you making or buying (or both) your Christmas gifts? Well, I’m not ready yet! I still have some gifts to make! Oh well, I have to crochet and knit faster or else I’m not gonna finish all these gift projects.
Anyways, last week I released The Candy Lane Beanie pattern and like what I’ve mentioned, I’ll be releasing the matching cowl. With that being said, here it is guys! This pattern may look a bit complicated but this pattern works up quickly once you get the hang of the stitches! You can still make this cowl pattern and the beanie for yourself or for someone as a gift.
This pattern is still in collaboration with Hobbii Yarn. They provided the Tivoli XL yarns I used to create this project. This company has so many gorgeous yarns — from cotton to acrylic to wool. You name it, they have it! What I also love about them is that their yarns and other products are very affordable. Yes, they are from overseas – Denmark but they ship fast and they always have a candy or two in their packages! I recommend that you check out on them and try their products!
Okay, let’s dive into our pattern for today!
Get the inexpensive PDF copy on Ravelry or add it to your favorites for later use. As a part of the pattern release, you can get the PDF copy for free using the coupon code CANDYCOWL. This is good for 24 hours only!

NOTES
- Read through the entire pattern before starting.
- This pattern is worked sideways and when your work reaches its size measurement, the first and last rows are joined together.
- The beginning ch 1 does NOT count as a stitch.
- Numbers in ( ) at end of round indicate the number of stitches in that row.
- Asterisks * * indicate repeat instructions between asterisks as many times as directed or repeat at specified locations.
- I recommend using stitch markers to mark the beginning/end of the body and ribbed section. Remember to move up the stitch markers in every time you finish a row.
- To avoid weaving in a lot of ends, non-working yarn is being carried under or worked over by the working yarn.
- This cowl can be easily adjusted or modified to the size of your liking. The main pattern consists of multiple of 2 sts. If you wanted your cowl to be shorter/longer, just deduct/add 2 sts (or any even numbers of sts).
- Photos were included for your reference.
