FREE PATTERN WITH VIDEO TUTORIAL
Following the fast project inspiration from last post, and for another cowl too. This one for a design I had shared a long time ago, that had no video tutorial, but that really deserved it because of an interesting feature in the making.
The Infinity Crochet Cowl is the perfect project to practice or learn finger crochet. That’s right, your finger instead of using a crochet hook. With basic stitches, such as chains and single crochets, within such a fast piece to complete and practically no other tool than your hands and your yarn. Discover the feeling of creating this nice weave and experiment your crochet 100%.
With a nice drape due to the chunkier open stitches, made with two yarns held together and with two different choices on how to wear, by wrapping twice or three times around the neck.
An easy skill level pattern that can also work great for beginners. But remember there are also other resources available for when you are ready for the crochet hook. My Crocheting from scratch video is the option for you to learn all the essential steps, which you will also be practicing with this cowl project.
Use those bulky wool and/or acrylic yarns and create a beautiful accessory. And if they include different colors, this will be the perfect garment to show them off. You will want to wear it everyday for the colder seasons.
This video tutorial for the Infinity Crochet Cowl covers all steps of the making. Video is in Spanish, but you have the option to see the Closed Caption in the language of your choice, by selecting the settings icon on the video then, select Closed Caption, Automatic Translation and select your language. And you also have all written directions, below this same post, to follow every detail step by step.

R2-137: Ch 1, sc 6, turn= 6 sts.

R138: Sl st 6= 6 sts
Fasten off and weave in all ends.
You can decide to leave it like this, which will allow to wrap around the neck twice. I personally prefer to give the stitches a stretch by the end. This gives more weight and nicer drape to the cowl, and you will be able to wrap up to three times and closer to the neck when you need.
And the Infinity Crochet Cowl is complete. Wrap twice or three times around the neck, just depending on the mood or the day.
Colorful yarns will look the best for this project, which works great for beautiful gifts. Share your results with me, use #infinitycrochetcowl to see your version or just tag me as @chabepatterns on my Instagram.
