Make this unique crochet houndstooth cowl for those chilly days: Morning Mist Cowl

This crochet cowl is a pattern I believe you will absolutely love making.

The repeat for the body of the cowl is very simple to memorize. But this project will keep your interest because it works up rather quickly and involves 2 colors.

The construction of this houndstooth cowl is that it is worked from the top down. The small neck ribbing is worked first in rounds and then the body of the cowl is worked in turned rounds and include an increase in each round.

This triangle houndstooth cowl uses just 2 main stitches throughout.

The stitches used to crochet this houndstooth cowl are chains, single crochet and double crochet stitches.

The small ribbing section uses double crochet stitches but worked alternating back and front post to get that ribbed texture.

The main triangle cowl alternates between single and double crochet stitches. The crochet stitch combination used is called the houndstooth stitch.

What yarn is used for this crochet triangle cowl pattern?

What makes this cowl pattern more fun and unique is that it can be made using 2 different weights of yarn.

This pattern is written so that a worsted weight or a DK weight yarn can be used.
