Unforgettable Hazel Cowl

 

 

For those of you following me,  you will recall in July I released the pattern Unforgettable Hazel for a wheelchair sized blanket/afghan, that I gifted to my husbands Nanny Hazel for her 100th birthday.

 

Hazel loved her blanket and so did many of you, I had some really wonderful comments back, and the free pattern was widely shared.

 

I would love to see pictures of the blankets you made on my Facebook Page Crochet 24/7, so don’t be shy, go ahead and post your photos!

 

Or if you prefer for only group members see the photos, post them in our Facebook Group Crochet 24/7 Club

 

I had some requests for a cowl or scarf, and I thought yes! you are all so right! The blanket is so full of texture and squishiness, the stitch combination really lends itself well to a cowl,  or you could just skip the seaming, and carry on crocheting to make a scarf.

 

Although, I have stayed with Red Heart Unforgettable in the colour Tidal for this new pattern, you could use any Worsted weight yarn or chunky yarn, as long as you use a hook 2-3 sizes above the manufacturer’s recommendation, to enable you to get the looser textured effect.

 

Once again I am excited to offer you this pattern for free here on my blog – I have had a very busy summer period looking after my family’s needs, and wanted to thank-you all for your understanding whilst I have been a bit quiet on social media, and staying with me!

Unforgettable Hazel Cowl

 

Difficulty Level: – Intermediate

 

Stitches Used in this Pattern: –

USA TERMS                                                       

CH – Chain

SC – Single Crochet

HDC – Half Double Crochet

DC – Double Crochet

UK TERMS

CH – Chain

DC – Double Crochet

HTR – Half Treble

TRC – Treble Crochet

 

Special Stitches Used : –

 

UK – TRC Cluster:- TR5TOG:- (5 TRC’s worked together in the same stitch)

*(Yarn round hook (yrh), insert hook into the stitch space pull loop through, yrh, pull through first 2 loops on the hook), *repeat 4 more times; yrh, pull through remaining 6 loops.

 

USA – DC Cluster:- DC5TOG:- (5 DC’s worked together in the same stitch)

*(Yarn round hook (yrh), insert hook into the stitch space pull loop through, yrh, pull through first 2 loops on the hook), *repeat 4 more times; yrh, pull through remaining 6 loops.

 

UK – Shell (5 TRC’s in the same stitch)

USA – Shell (5 DC’s in the same stitch)

 

UK – V-Stitch (TRC, CH1, TRC in the same stitch)

USA -V-Stitch (DC, CH1, DC in the same stitch)

 

Yarn Used: – Red Heart Boutique Unforgettable in Colour – Tidal, 100% Acrylic 100g balls 280 yards, 256 meters – I used 2 balls for this project approx. 175g.

 

Hook Size Used: – 9mm crochet hook, your project will grow quickly and be full of texture

 

Gauge: – 4” = 11 (US-HDC) or 11 (UK-HTR)

 

Additional Notes :-

Check your count on every (US) SC and (UK) DC Row, it’s really easy to miss one and then very annoying if you have, as you won’t notice it until you have completed the HDC rows, and begun the Shells or Clusters.

Take 30 seconds to count the (US) SC or (UK) DC to avoid frogging 8 rows of (US) HDC or (UK) HTR!

Before seaming the finished cowl measures 61” length and 10” wide. The cowl can be made to any size you want, by just using the multiple of 3+3(+1 for the foundation row).

If you prefer a shorter cowl then using 1 ball of Unforgettable I reached 33” (82cm), and without completing the optional border I would have had enough yarn remaining to seam the short cowl/neck-warmer.

 

 

Instructions written using USA crochet terms. 

 

CH1 – Does not count as a stitch

CH3 – Counts as a stitch

CH4 – Counts as the first TRC, meaning the very first space you could place a stitch, is already “used”

 

Multiple 3+3 (+1 for the foundation chain).

 

ROW 1:- CH28, DC into 2nd CH from hook, DC in each CH to end of row. (27 DC), turn

 

ROW 2:- CH1, HDC into 1st DC, and then HDC in each DC, repeat across, (27 HDC), turn

 

ROW 3:- CH1, HDC into each HDC, using the front two loops, repeat across, (27 HDC), turn

 

ROWS 4 through to 9 :-  Repeat Row 3

 

ROW 10:- CH3, DC Cluster in first HDC, *(CH1, Skip 1, DC Cluster in next HDC) * repeat across, after 13th DC Cluster, (don’t CH1), Skip 1, DC into final HDC. (13 Clusters), turn

 

ROW 11:– CH1, SC (in 1st DC), SC in top of cluster (2^nd SC), SC in the CH1 space, and continue across, SC in top of last Cluster, SC in CH1 space, SC into 3^rd CH of previous row. (27 SC), turn

 

Row 12:- CH3, DC Cluster in SC, * (CH1, Skip 1, DC Cluster in next SC) * repeat across, after 13^th DC Cluster, (don’t CH1), Skip 1, DC into final SC, turn

 

Row 13:- CH1, SC (in 1st DC), SC in top of cluster (2^nd SC), SC in the CH1 space, and continue across, SC in top of last Cluster, SC in CH1 space, SC into 3^rd CH of previous row. (27 SC), turn

 

Row 14:- Repeat Row 12

 

Row 15:- Repeat Row 13

 

ROW 16:- Repeat Row 2

 

ROW 17:- through to ROW 23:- Repeat Row 3

 

ROW 24:- CH4, Skip 1, Shell in next HDC, * (Skip 2, Shell in next HDC), * repeat across. After 8th Shell, Skip 2, DC in last HDC. (8 Shells)

 

ROW 25:- CH4, Skip 2 DC and make a V stitch in 3^rd DC (middle DC) of 1^st Cluster (you will have 4 DC stitches in between each V made), repeat across making a V stitch in the 3^rd DC of each Cluster, after 8^th V stitch, skip 2 DC, and DC in 3^rd CH of previous row CH4. (8 V-stitch)

 

ROW 26:- CH4, Shell in the CH1 space of each V stitch, after 8^th Shell, Skip 1 and DC in 3^rd CH of previous row CH4 (8 Shells)

 

ROW 27:- Repeat Row 25 (8 V stitch)

 

ROW 28:- Repeat Row 26 (8 Shells)

 

ROW 29:- Repeat Row 25 (8 V stitch)

 

ROW 30:- CH1, SC into 1^st DC, 2 SC into V stitch space , SC under CH between the V’s. Continue across, after 8^th V, SC into CH space, SC under 4^th CH starting previous row, SC into 3^rd CH starting previous row (27 SC)

(Check your count! You should have 27 SC! it’s really easy to mis-count between the Shells and V’s)

 

You will now repeat ROWS 2-30, until you reach your desired length of cowl!

My cowl was 3 further repeats and will fit comfortably, twisted twice around the neck, measuring 61” long before seaming, and 10” wide, you could also stop at 33” (1 ball of Unforgettable) and make a shorter cowl (neck-warmer)

Finish on a SC Row to enable easy seaming!

 

Bring the short edges together ensuring both wrong or right sides depending on whether you want your seam to show. Right side can easily be seen by looking at the cluster stitch and ensuring the puffier side is on the right side.

Seam together with your choice of closure, mattress seam etc. or my own preference is always to crochet the seam.

 

Bring the 2 short sides together, you have the 27 SC on each side. Yarn over, then insert your crochet hook through all four loops of the 1^st SC on each side, yarn over, pull through the four loops, yarn over, and pull through all 3 loops on the hook.

 

Continue along the seam, and to finish cut your yarn and slip the end through the loop on your hook and pull tightly. Weave ends in.

 

Optional Border:-

Re-attach yarn, and HDC around the whole cowl on both edges, no set number of stitches, just try to keep the space between each stitch fairly even.

Cut your yarn, leaving a tail to weave in. Pull yarn through final loop on hook and then weave in the end to hide.
