Recently, I have fallen for quick projects! The 30-minute crochet beanie would be a good match with this crochet cowl scarf pattern. An 8-hour stripe blanket is another fun and quick project to check out. Here are another cabled cowl, a Reversible cowl, and a quick cowl also made using buttons

This chunky cowl scarf would look beautiful with or without adding fringes. I have opted out of adding fringes to mine, but you can consider the option for yours.

The pattern was designed and tested in 3 different sizes to choose from. Child, Teen, and Adult size. If you desire to use another weight of yarn for your own crochet cowl scarf, you should make sure to adjust the foundation chain!

Pin it for later.
