    Diamond Crochet Cowl

    Published: Feb 3, 2012 · Modified: Dec 16, 2021 by Tamara Kelly · 140 Comments

    I've been admiring all the gorgeous crochet cowls out there lately - in stores, on Ravelry, and on my equally gorgeous friends. I couldn't resist creating my own version, and with Valentine's Day on the horizon, I decided you can't go wrong with diamonds!

    I've been wearing it all over town, feeling fancy - and getting requests for more! With only 18 rows it works up in a few hours and it makes a great treat for yourself or a gift for the neck of someone you love. Best of all, it comes in two sizes, with all the info you need to create custom lengths of your own!

    Diamond Crochet Cowl

    Add this pattern to your Ravelry Queue and Favorites

    This cowl pattern starts with a fsc, but you can start with a row of ch and a row of sc if preferred. The stitch pattern works with multiples of 4, so it's easily customizable if the given sizes aren't what you are looking for - go all the way up around 140 for a really long drapey cowl! UPDATED 9/5/12 - Video Tutorial for this pattern has been made!

    Yarn: Worsted Weight Yarn, 210 yards (I happened to use two of the thinner ww yarns.)

    • The black, neck-length sample is made with Red Heart Shimmer.
    • The red, chest-length sample, is made with Naturally Caron Country.

    Hook:  5.5mm (I)

    Sizes: See here to determine the length of your first row (fsc or ch):

    • Neck-length (wears closer to the neck, more like a neck cozy): Fsc 76
    • Chest-length (slightly longer, more open around the neck): Fsc 84

    Abbreviations:
    Fsc - foundation single crochet
    Fptrc2tog - front post treble crochet two together

    Row 1: Fsc 76 (84). Join with sl st to work in the round. (You can use the tail to snug up the bottom of the fsc before weaving in ends, so leave a few inches to work with.)

    Row 2: Ch3, dc in next st and ea st to end of round. Join with sl st. (Ch3 counts as dc)

    Row 3: Ch1, sc in first 3 sts. Fptrc2tog over nxt st: working first fptrc around the 2nd fsc in row 1 until 2 loops left on hook, skip 3 fsc on row 1 and work second fptrc around 6th fsc until 3 loops left on hook. Yarn over and pull through all loops. *Sc in next 3 sts. Fptrc2tog, working first fptrc around the base of the last fptrc, sk 3 fsc and work second fptrc around next fsc.* Repeat from * to * end, join with sl st to the first st of the row.

    Row 4: Ch3, dc in next st and ea st to end of round. Join with sl st.

    Row 5: Ch1, sc in 1st st. Fptrc2tog, going around the tops of the fptrc2tog of row 3 (where you "joined" the last 3 loops on the hook), creating diamond shapes. Do this by sliding the hook from right to left all the way under both of the post stitches, staying on top of the background fabric. *Sc in next 3 sts, then Fptrc2tog* to last 2 sts. Sc in last 2 sts, then join with sl st.

    Row 6: Ch3, dc in next st and ea st to end of round. Join with sl st.

    Row 7: Repeat Row 3, except go around the fptrc2tog tops.

    Row 8-15: Repeat rows 4-7 twice.

    Row 16-17: Repeat rows 4-5.

    Row 18: Sc around, then use seamless join to finish off. Weave in ends.


    A closeup of the stitch pattern, so you can get an idea of how it comes together:

    free crochet cowl pattern diamonds cables winter scarfAnd that's the Diamond Crochet Cowl! The larger size, in particular, has a tendency to curl, which can be fun, but if you don't like that, I'd recommend some steam blocking to relax the fibers a bit. Post stitches create the amazing texture, and YOU can create your own in just a few hours.

      Thank you! I just started this yesterday and it is coming along nicely. I am an intermediate crocheter and this is my first time doing fptc2tog. My tc is still a little sloppy, but with the multi colored yarn I'm using, it looks fine. I can't wait to finish and surprise my mom!

      This is a beautiful use of front post crochet and I think the style of cowl that I've been seeking.

      I do have a question.

      Both versions seem to show a hood, which is what I want, but I don't see how that develops from this pattern.

      What am I missing?

      Have the yarn and the hook, just need a response to proceed.
      Thank you

            Hi Miho! There is no hood - it's an unfortunate and unforeseen trick of the lighting. If you look at the hanger it's on, you'll see that it's much smaller than that. 🙂

        Thanks Nourah! This is a close fitting cowl and kid's heads are proportionately large, so I wouldn't go too much smaller. The pattern works in multiples of 4, so I might drop 12 - 20 stitches depending on the age of the child.

      Row 2: Ch3, dc in next st and ea st to end of round. Join with sl st. (Ch3 counts as dc)

      What does "ea" stitch means?

        Diane, are you familiar with post stitches? There's a video for those here: https://www.mooglyblog.com/2012/03/14/post-stitches-raisedrelief/ which might help - the Fp stands for front post. A trc is treble crochet, which means you wrap the yarn around the hook twice to start the next stitch. And the 2tog is a decrease, which means starting two stitches but leaving the last two loops from the first stitch on the hook when you start the second stitch, then pulling through the last two loops of the second and the last two loops of the first all together to turn two stitches into one.

        So to put all that together, you wrap the yarn around your hook twice, then go around the first stitch indicated from the front (right to left, as per the video), yarn over and pull the loop from behind the post. Then yarn over again, pull through two loops, yarn over again and pull through two loops, and stop for a moment with 2 loops left on the hook. Wrap the yarn around the hook twice more, and go around the second stitch indicated from the front, right to left, yarn over and pull the loop from behind this post. Then yarn over again, pull through two loops, yarn over again and pull through two loops, and stop for a moment with 4 total loops left on the hook. Yarn over on last time, and pull through all the loops on the hook to finish the stitch.

        I know that may seem overwhelming, but once you are familiar with post stitches, treble crochet, and decreases (the 2tog), it's just putting them all together - a tall order if you're new to crochet! I'll try to get a video of the whole thing up soon!

      I would really like to make this cowl, but i am stuck on the 3rd round, I know how to make a fptc2tog, but don't understand the placement of the stitches in this pattern. How do you work them around the fsc on row 1 when you have already finished row 2? can you help me with this?

        Ruby, you just go right over Row 2, leaving it as a background for the stitches. In other words, work in front of it.

        Hi Elizabeth! Yes, you can do the diamond pattern flat! You just need to add another stitch to the base to "anchor" the last stitch.

        The sc in row 3 are working into the top of row 2. I don't have a video (yet!) of the Cowl, but this video might help: https://www.mooglyblog.com/2012/06/06/basic-crochet-cables/ In the video, note that the non-cable rows, worked from the wrong side of the fabric, are where all the sc in the cable rows are worked into, whereas the post stitches are actually going into the stitches two rows previous.

      Hi Moogly! Thank you for sharing this beautiful pattern. I'm working on this right now as well, and I am having trouble after joining the fsc row. For the 2nd row, where you chain 3, and DC in each stitch, my piece looks like it has a gap and I'm stitching into the second chain from the hook (not the closest fsc to the hook). Is that the right place to begin the round of DCs for row 2?

        Hi BekkaPoo! Have you watched the video? That should clear up any confusion. If you have and all the sts are in the right place but you're still getting a gap, try ch 2 and then a dc in the same st instead of counting the ch 3 as the first dc. (Just make sure you don't count the ch2 as a st or work into it after that!)

      Thank you for the lovely pattern and very thourough tutorial video. At first I had a little trouble with this stitch but working along with the video and once I had the first row of front post treble crochet two together 😉 done it was easy. Instead of a cowl I made an earwarmer and added some flower applications. You can see the result here: http://pinterest.com/pin/220887556695090142/ @pinterest

      Another thank you! I watched your cable video -- great -- but this was actually the pattern I was searching for. I found a vintage pattern, that was a little convoluted for me, for this stitch & am so glad to find it in modern English. I am thinking of making a large blanket with a box of lightweight variegated wool left in the attic from my grandmother. I will do some swatches with the cable pattern and also with this before I decide.

      Hi! I'm a beginner and love the look of this pattern. I'm looking to make this for a male friend as a scarf...I found "wool-ease thick & quick" that I really want to use - would it be a bad idea to try it - since its 'super bulky'?

      Thank you!!!

        Hi Andrea, and thank you! I think that yarn would be fine, but you'll want to use a larger hook - I'd try an M/N or 9mm hook with that yarn.

      Hi Moogly,
      Beautiful pattern. Gathering up courage to try it, looks too ambitious for me. My question is can I turn this pattern into a capelet ot a short poncho?
      And if so, how can I add stitches as It gets wider around the shoulder.

        Jojo, that would be pretty, but pretty complicated and a whole new pattern! I'll try to think about it, but it would take a big redesign!
        In the meantime, if you want to make the cowl as is, be sure to watch the tutorial video - it'll help a lot!

      Question about joining with FSC -- which part of the stitch do I sl st into? It seems to leave a bit of a "gap" at the bottom where the faux chain stitches would normally be. Is that what you mean by "snugging" it together with the tail? I've made the assumption that the SL ST goes into the 2nd ch st that we made in the very beginning, just below the loop for the SC. Is that right?

          I think your right about it being the way the front is laying. When I first saw this, it was what I thought was a hood that caught my eye, along with the beautiful stitch. I was ready to jump on it, pretty, light & not to big & a hood for the bad weather. Perfect! It is a stunning cowl. You might want to consider adding a hood to the pattern since there is so much interest. Love it & thank you for sharing.

      Hello
      Despite watching the video many times I still am having problems. I am an experienced crocheter, know all the stitches used, but think something is wrong for me. I edit patterns for a French friend and stress to her to include everything and assume nothing. What would be helpful to me and others, I think, is the stitch count at the end of every row. Should it be 76? I start out with that but at the end of row four I have 75. I have ripped this out several times, really want to make for my daughter. Would you be so kind as to give the stitch count for each row? Thanks so much. You have made a great tutorial but I'm just missing something.

        Hi Jill! I'm sorry you're having trouble. Every row should have 76(84) stitches (or whatever stitch count you started with). Remember that the ch 3 at the beginning of every even numbered row does count as a stitch!

      I cannot figure this pattern out to save my life. At the end of row 3 I have over 100 stitches over and over again. I've spent hours today doing nothing but row 3. It looks right, but somehow there are more than 100 stitches to get dc in row 4. I'm not a new crocheter, all the stitches are things I've done before. I'm not sure you can help, but I'm so frustrated!

        Kyla, I'm sorry you're so frustrated. I'm sure if we were in the same room we'd have it figured out in minutes! I'm wondering if what's happening is that you are counting the stitches behind the post stitches as well as the post stitches? Alternately, have you watched the video? If not, it's at https://www.mooglyblog.com/basics-of-the-diamond-crochet-cowl-and-fptrc2tog/

      Quick question for my size estimation purposes since I don't have an I hook and so am using an H hook instead: Is the beginning chain the larger part of the cowl, or does the cowl get larger as one goes? My guess is that it gets smaller? Thanks!

            To add a hood I would work half the width of the cowl (more or less, depending on how big a cowl you're making) back and forth in rows, in the pattern, working the post sts on the right side and the other sts on the wrong side. Then when the hood was long enough I'd fold the last row in half and seam the top! 🙂

      I am very much a beginner, but I love your pattern. I'm a little confused about row 2:Ch3, dc in next st and ea st to end of round. Join with sl st. (Ch3 counts as dc)
      You chain 3, then does dc in next stitch mean start the dc in the second stitch, so you sort of skip then 1st stitch?

      Hi Tamara,
      This cowl is so, so pretty. I am about halfway through. I am having a little trouble with keeping a consistent number of stitches in each row. In one of the comments, you said each row should have 84 or the number you start with. I keep ending up with more than 84 in the dc rows. I am making it work by doing a few dc decreases in those rows but I can't quite figure out what I'm doing wrong. Any ideas? I thought maybe I was going into the wrong stitch for the three sc that start sort of behind the post stitch but I don't think that's the case. Anyway, it's gorgeous the way the diamonds come together. I want to make more of these but I'd like to figure out what I'm doing wrong if I can. Thank you so much.

          I wanted to show you my progress. It took me a long time to make the fsc (I have essential tremor) but I did manage to fsc 168 stitches. Once that was done simply following your video (pausing several times) was enough to understand what to do and the repetition for row 3. The only problem I had was to figure out which stitch to skip from row 2 when doing the 3 sc's - manly just a light problem, the yarn colour I chose is difficult to see details under artificial light (no, I couldn't wait until tomorrow morning to do this. 🙂 ).
          Enough rambling...

      I tried to make an earwarmer using this stitch, and it came out small - only 18", not enough for an adult head. How many initial stitches do you think I'd need for a 2-22" head? I started with 52 fsc for 18" one. I am thinking about 12 stitches more, but I am not sure. The problem is I can only be sure after making at least a couple of the diamond stitch rounds.

      Thanks!

        At the end of Round 5, you sl st into the sc that started the round. Then to begin Round 6, you ch 3 which counts as the first dc of that round, and is "in" that same sc st you just joined to.

        Hi Nilene, thank you so much! This cowl is on the small size, so I think it would fit her just fine, and give her a little room to grow as well. 🙂

      After finishing row 4 I have more than 84 stitches. Should I still only have 84 stitches or should I have more? Are there some stitches from row 3 I need to skip?

        You should have 84 sts in every round.

      I made this beautiful cowl in cream and fashioned a matching slouch hat by starting with 64 fsc, repeating rows 4-7 three times, then finishing with 6 rows of sc. I turned it inside out and wove a double yarn through the beginning row evenly and pulling tight. I stitched across the small opening and just turned the hat right side out again. It is so beautiful! I love this stitch pattern. I love your tutorials. So much fun! Thanks!

      Hi!
      I recently tried this pattern after the Snow Drops Reversible Cowl.
      I started with 92 FSC and ended up with no space to make the last Fptr2tog stitch, because I had the 3 SC of the beginning and the 3 SC of the end. I was wondering if I made a mistake with the initial number of stitches. Maybe it's not just a matter of a multiple of 4?

        I'm not sure what happened, did you check the video tutorial?

          Yes, I did. I don't know what happened. I will try again tomorrow and see if I forgot some stitches around!
          I might have missed something as I'm a newbie in the crochet world!

      Thank you so much for this! I just made one for my sis-n-law who lives in the US so she can wear it during winter, and I'm sure she'll love this! Without the video tutorial, I don't think I can do this so "thank you!"

      I am wondering if you happen to have a diagram from this? I work better with diagrams than with tutorials. Thanks in advance.

        No, I'm afraid this pattern pre-dates my ability to make charts! 🙂

      I love this pattern. I have made about 4 for a friend. She brings me yarn and says “I can’t find my diamond neck scarf” and I make another one.😂 This pattern is really easy once I get past the fsc…I have to rip it out and watch videos several times before I get it to look like I want.
      Thank you for this pattern.
