Crafty Monday: Infinity Cowl Pattern

Yes, you read the title correctly. I wrote my own pattern. Granted, this is a pretty easy project, since it's basically a wide tube, but I'm still proud of it:P I keep seeing these infinity scarves/cowls everywhere, so they must be in this year. And I read a few patterns, but none of the authors were okaying their pattern's use for the sale of finished products, so I made my own:P

I think it turned out pretty well. I made it wide enough to be a warm scarf, or act as a hood/hood liner. Because the hoods on wool coats are next to useless. They're often very wide (like mine) so they let in a lot of cold air, and they blow right off if there's a light breeze blowing. This pattern uses a big hook (size N) and two strands of worsted weight yarn or one strand of a bulky yarn. So it's soft and flexible, too.

My ears are very toasty now. And yesterday was a good day to test it out. It was a brisk 46 degrees and windy when we popped out on the deck to take some photos for the Etsy listing.

So, if you wanted to give it a shot, here's the super-simple pattern:

Need:

-A skein of bulky yarn or 2 skeins doubled-up worsted weight yarn (I used Red Heart Designer Sport in Berry and Granite).

-Size N/10 mm hook. (Go up a size if you're a tight crocheter.)

-Yarn needle for weaving in ends.

This pattern is worked in the round, turning after every round, with a total of 23 rows.

Chain 55 or to desired circumference. Join with sl st to first ch.

Round 1: Ch 1. 1 SC in each ch around. Join with sl st to ch 1. Turn.

Round 2: Ch 2. 2 DC in each st around. Join with sl st to top of ch 2. Turn.

Round 3: Ch 1. 1 HDC in each st around. Join with sl st to ch 1. Turn.

Rounds 4-22: Repeat rounds 2 & 3 (alternating rows of DC and HDC).

Round 23: Ch 1. 1 SC in each st around. Fasten off, weave in ends. 

Enjoy!
