Free Crochet beanie and cowl pattern

Free Crochet Beanie and cowl pattern.

A few months ago, I made a sun hat using the same design used in this easy beanie and cowl pattern. Since designing that sun hat, I knew immediately that I would eventually make many designs using the stitches. One of the reasons I love the stitch is that it is addictive, soothing, and full of beautiful Texture.

Easy Crochet tutorial for Beanie and Cowl for Preemie to Adult sizes using your best #3 (DK) weight yarn

Another good thing about this set is that it is size inclusive! The easy beanie and cowl pattern was written and tested from Preemie sizes up to Adult large sizes. However, I felt Babies can choke with cowls and have omitted their size.

Not only would you love your makes from the easy beanie and cowl pattern, but would also fall in love with the beautiful stitch and texture in the set. I made a pullover using the stitch and the end result is breathtaking. You can grab the bundle (easy beanie and cowl pattern alongside the pullover here)

Since this stitch is addictive and super easy to follow, I have added a cowl (neck warmer) as a free pattern also. Scroll down to the Cowl pattern
