    Harvest Bandana Cowl

    November 9, 2018 by Tamara Kelly 16 Comments

    Harvest Bandana Cowl

    The Harvest Bandana Cowl is a fun, quick, and easy one ball pattern that features the corner to corner stitch and the twisted single crochet. And it's a free crochet pattern here on Moogly!

    Crochet and go!

    I love the look of shawls worn "backward," or with the point in front. And I adore my collection of shawl pins! But sometimes you need something a little less fussy, a little easier to throw on and go.

    Harvest Bandana Cowl - flat, DIR

    And that's what inspired the Harvest Bandana Shawl! With the great look of a shawl worn "bandana style" and the ease of a cowl, you can pop this on and go - no matter where the day takes you, or how windy it gets!

    Harvest Bandana Cowl

    Inspirational Colorscape

    Red Heart Colorscape was the perfect choice for this pattern! It is 100% acrylic so it's as easy to care for as it is it wear. And has 12 gorgeous city-themed colorways so you can get a different look every time, for every adventure.

    Harvest Bandana Cowl - point closeup

    NOTES:

    The main stitch pattern for the Harvest Bandana Cowl is commonly known as the corner to corner, or C2C stitch. Worked in the "standard" way for the odd-numbered rows, the even-numbered rows replace the center dc with a ch 1 (and skip 1 when applicable), for a lacier look that adds interest to this design.

    INSTRUCTIONS:

    Row 1: Ch 6, dc in 4th ch from hook, dc in last 2 chs; turn. (1 solid block)

    Row 2: Ch 6, dc in 4th ch from hook, ch 1, skip next ch, dc in last ch, (slip st, ch 3, dc, ch 1, dc) in ch-3 sp of previous row; turn. (2 lace blocks)

    Row 3: Ch 6, dc in 4th ch from hook, dc in next 2 sts, [(slip st, ch 3, 3 dc) in next ch-3 sp of previous row] twice; turn. (3 solid blocks)

    Row 4: Ch 6, dc in 4th ch from hook, ch 1, skip next ch, dc in last ch, [(slip st, ch 3, dc, ch 1, dc) in next ch-3 sp of previous row] 3 times; turn. (4 lace blocks)

    Row 5 – 18: Repeat last 2 rows, increasing 1 block on each row until there are 18 blocks across, do NOT turn. (If you want a bigger cowl, continue to desired width, ending on an even-numbered row.)

    Rnd 19: Join with sl st to first ch-3 sp of Row 18, ch 2, (dc, hdc, sc) in same ch-3 sp, hdc in next ch-1 sp, *(dc, hdc, sc) in next ch-3 sp, hdc in next ch-1 sp; rep from * around, join to first dc of rnd. (72 sts)

    Rnd 20: Ch 1, sc in each st around; join and break yarn. (72 sts)

    Bottom Edging Rnd 1: Join with sc to back of cowl at join, sc evenly around bottom edge of cowl, working (sc, ch 2, sc) at the point; join.

    Bottom Edging Rnd 2: Ch 1, tw-sc in each st around, working (tw-sc, ch 2, tw-sc) in the point ch-2 sp; join and break yarn.

    Ta da!

    And that's the Harvest Bandana Cowl! I hope you like this fun and fast pattern - with just one ball of yarn! This makes it a great go-to gift pattern - and the variety of  Red Heart Colorscape colors mean you can customize it every time.

    Designed on a reader request to match the other Moogly Moroccan Tile Stitch patterns, the Chic Moroccan Slippers crochet pattern includes 3 sizes - based on women's shoe sizes, the Small fits a ⅚, the Medium fits a ⅞, and the Large fits a 9/10. But it's the same pattern every time! How?

    Chic Moroccan Slippers - all sizes

    What changes is the hook size! By simply changing the hook size used, you can make this pattern fit most women's feet. And the only difference between the right and left feet are the placement of the tie - which you can put wherever you want!

    Made with super squishy Red Heart Chic Sheep by Marly Bird, each pair takes less than 1 skein of each color - making this a great go-to pattern for gifts for the holidays!

    NOTES:

    This pattern includes 3 sizes, all made with the exact same set of instructions. Sizing is done via the hook size used. Please see the hook and sizing info above to determine which hook you should use to make your size.

    Additionally, the right and left foot instructions are the same - the difference is on which side you put the bow of the tie.

    The first half of each slipper is made in rounds, and then the instructions switch to rows.

    If you prefer not to use the Chainless Starting Double Crochet, substitute a ch 3.

    When removing the hook from an active loop, place a stitch marker in that loop to prevent losing stitches.

    These mittens are made in the round. Do not cut the yarn after each round. Let it hang on the inside of the mitten and then pull it up and continue crocheting with it as directed.

    Moss Stitch in the Round

    The Autumn Amore Cowl is made with Red Heart Yarns Amore, which is perfect for wearing against the skin! You can get it on RedHeart.com, or at your local Walmart, and if you're lucky, at your local big box craft store. The Cowl, like all the Autumn Amore CAL patterns, uses 3 colors. You need just one ball of each to make the cowl in any of the sizes listed!

    The Autumn Amore Cowl is worked in the round - like the even rounds of the Autumn Amore Beanie! And it features a repeat of the "brim" on the top and bottom edges to finish it off. If you prefer the look of infinity scarves that you can double around, or straight scarves with two ends (which are a bit more unisex), be sure to check out the Autumn Amore Scarf pattern!
