Bulky, Cuddly, Crochet Cowl Creations

It’s never too early to start thinking about wrapping up in cuddly crochet creations…or dream of creating crochet masterpieces to wrap a loved one in!

And, a chunky wool/alpaca blend yarn figures highly into my dreams of cuddly projects. If you are interested in an easy crochet cowl pattern, to make up quickly with chunky yarn, keep reading for the free pattern below.

You will find instructions for sizes toddler, child and adult.

Gorgeous Free Crochet Cowl PatternMy family lives on 50 acres in rural New England. Our land is a beautiful mixture of meadows and wooded areas. We are constantly outdoors enjoying it. So, the name of this cowl is pretty organic as we have man-made and woodland creature-made trails everywhere. With my little ones, we wander and explore these trails.

There is something new to see all the time.

As long as they are moving, our destination is not important. Wandertrail seems the perfect name to represent time spent outside enjoying nature. I hope you agree and find time to enjoy the outdoors too!

The free pattern is provided below including the size, materials, and notes. An ad-free PDF version of the Winter Path Scarf is also available for you to purchase, download, and print out.
