The Hurry Up Holiday Cowl is the first pattern in the 2015 Holiday Mini Crochet-Along!
The Hurry Up Holiday Cowl takes just one skein of Lion Brand Hometown USA, and works up in less than an hour - after making a couple, I got it down to under 30 minutes! The matching hat will be shared on December 11th.

Thanks for this pattern! I just bought a bunch of Hometown USA for $1.88 / skein on Black Friday. Now I have a quick and easy (and inexpensive) pattern for last minute Christmas gifts! Love your site and tutorials, I've learned so much from you! Thanks again!

😀 Thank you Kristi!

Thank you so much for yet another super pattern. It will certainly come in handy for teacher/friend gifts over the holidays :). I really appreciate all the time, money and attention you put into all of your patterns and tutorials. Thank you and happy holidays to you and yours.

Mishel Urias says
Sorry, I am fairly new, what is the FPDC mean?
Thank you
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Mishel! It is front post double crochet. 🙂 Be sure to check out the lined video tutorials, it will help you a lot I think!
Julie Flolo says
I have a question on the hook size. In the pattern you list the recommended hook as a 15mm P/Q hook. At my local store, they carry P hooks (10mm) OR Q hooks (15.75mm). Which size would be more appropriate for this pattern? Thank you!
Tamara Kelly says
The Q would be most appropriate in this case, unless you are a very loose crocheter. 🙂
Nancy says
I would like to make this but would prefer to do a regular chain and then follow the rest of the pattern. Is this possible and how many chains should I start with? Thank you for your response. Nancy
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Nancy! Yes! You would chain 39, skip the ch closest to the hook, sc in each remaining ch, and then join with a sl st to the first sc to work in the round. (38 sts made)
Linda D says
Love this!thank you for post it.Also thanks for the videos they are big help. Just is it me or is the FSC a little difficult wth this size hook?
Sally says
Just finished one and starting another. Love the pattern - had never tried a FSC or the FPDC. I like the look! Thanks!!
Tamara Kelly says
Thank you Sally!
Maureen says
Made this tonight - LOVE IT! I can't wait to do the hat. Thanks for sharing this pattern.
Tamara Kelly says
😀 Thank you Maureen!
Melissa says
Hi Tamara, I am still fairly new to crochet. I am really having a hard time with the pattern. I finally got the FSC down but I am confused with the rest of the pattern. Is it possible for you to make a tutorial on this pattern? Please, please. It would really help me to understand reading and making this awesome looking cowl.
Hope to hear from you and get some help.
Thank you, Melissa
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Melissa! At the beginning of the pattern there is a link to the Diagonal Dip Post Stitch tutorial - that's the one you are looking for I think! 🙂
Erienne says
What a wonderful gift for my son's preschool teachers! They go outside to play often and it gets quite cold here. Like others, I took advantage of BF sales on this yarn and have a variety of pretty colors to work this up. Looking forward to making matching hats!!
Tamara Kelly says
😀 I'm so glad you like it! Thank you!
rosi says
I can't do the dfpc . is there another stitch that can be used on this easy fast crowl? I need to keep it simple and i need some gifts , have the yarn.
thanks
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Rosi! You can try working a standard dc or even a tr in that stitch instead, and push it forward as you make the hdc in the next st - that will give it a nice and subtle texture! 🙂
