Snowbank Cowl
Are you ready to learn how to make this double layer crochet cowl? If so, continue reading all about it.
Is it weird to say for every pattern I design that I just love how it turned out? With this one, normally I am not one to like stripes but the yarn totally made this crochet cowl so amazing.
This is a free crochet pattern for a double layer cowl. The double layer means that it is worked as a long tube shape in the round and then each end brought together and sewn.
This creates a nice double layer fabric for the cowl which is a great feature for this crochet neck warmer if its very chilly or windy.
This striped crochet cowl is fairly simple and easy to make. It is a 2-round repeat that alternates between 2 colors every other round.

About the double layer crochet cowl
There can be so many color possibilities for this cowl since it uses 2 colors. Try out some Halloween themed colors or a blue and gray for Winter.
Some stitches and techniques used in this cowl pattern include – double crochet, working in the round, working in the back loop only, changing colors, following instructions for a special stitch.
The yarn that was used was such a delight to work with. We Crochet was so kind to provide the yarn needed to create this design.
The yarn is City Tweed Aran/HW and it is very soft and squishy. The fiber content is 55% Merino Wool, 25% Superfine Alpaca, 20% Donegal Tweed. Any tweed yarn I just love working with.
The 2 colors used for this specific crochet cowl were Toad and Snowbank. Just 1 ball of each is needed for this project.
