Basic But Fancy Chunky Crochet Cowl Free Pattern

Basic But Fancy Chunky Crochet Cowl Free Pattern is a beginner friendly crochet pattern that is fast and cost-effective.

The yarn I chose for the Basic But Fancy Chunky Crochet Cowl is Yarn Bee Authentic Hand-Dyed Chunky in the color Prom Corsage. I purchased this yarn in my massive Clarance yarn haul from Hobby Lobby this past April which you can watch here.

You need three skeins of bulky or chunky weight size 5 yarn, or approximately 300 yards to get this project done. This is a crochet project that would be great to sell at holiday craft fairs or to make for Christmas presents. Merino Wool is a lovely fiber to crochet with.

Basic But Fancy Chunky Crochet Cowl Crochet Pattern utilizes only the chain stitch and half double crochet stitch but in the third bar. It creates a beautiful effect by pushing the two v’s to the front which you can see here. Normally, you would have a ridge pattern when crocheting half double crochet in rounds or rows. However, by crocheting in the third bar you get a reversible look that pushes the v’s in a row and is really beautiful. Hence the name, basic but fancy.

If you would really like to make an impressive crochet cowl, this is one that you can achieve for very little effort in a very short amount of time.

Another thing I really like about the Basic But Fancy Chunky Crochet Cowl pattern is that it is flexible to your gauge. You can adapt this pattern to your liking to fit your gauge as a crocheter.
