    Smokestack Cowl

    Published: Dec 17, 2019 by Tamara Kelly · 2 Comments

    The Smokestack Cowl features one of my favorite unisex stitch patterns, the overlapping post stitch! Combined with gorgeous yarn, this one skein project is a great new free crochet pattern on Moogly!

    Featuring Red Heart Gemstone

    The Smokestack Cowl is made with Red Heart Gemstone in the Onyx colorway - just one skein! Gemstone "combines two printed plies that are twisted together to make gorgeous color combinations that resemble the many rich colors found in Earth’s gemstones."

    I picked the Onyx colorway as it's the most unisex - and I like the colors! But there are pretty brights, jewel tones, and pastels too, so you can match the look to the wearer. It's got a great feel, and is machine washable and dryable (also good for gift-giving!).

    Make Gifts for All with the Smokestack Cowl

    The Smokestack Cowl is unisex, but you can change the look dramatically with color and texture! In addition to the other colorways of Red Heart Gemstone, you could try it with Bernat Velvet for a luxe look. Or what about Red Heart Dreamy Stripes for color plus fuzziness!?

    Notes

    If you would prefer to not begin with FDC, you can ch 72, skip the first 3 chs (count as first dc), and dc in each rem ch across. Then join and proceed with Rnd 2.

    If you would prefer to not use the CSDC, you can ch 3 or use your preferred dc substitute.

    Do not work into the top of the stitch you fptr around - it's already been worked with the post stitch.

    Instructions

    Rnd 1: FDC 70; join to work in the round. (70 sts in every rnd of pattern)

    Rnd 2: Ch 1, sc in each st around; join.

    Rnd 3: CSDC in first st, *fptr around dc below next st, dc in next st; rep from * until 1 st rem, fptr around dc below last st, join.

    Rnd 4: Rep Rnd 2.

    Rnd 5: Ch 2 (does not count as a st), fptr around dc below first st, *dc in next st, fptr around dc below next st; rep to * until 1 st rem, dc in last st, turn.

    Rnd 6 - 27: Rep Rnds 2 - 5, ending on a Rnd 3 rep.
