When you want a crochet scarf that drapes nicely out of the neck of your coat, a crochet cowl pattern is just the ticket. Once you start learning how to crochet a cowl, it may become your new favorite type of scarf. Crochet cowl patterns are versatile and fashionable.

Crochet cowls differ from infinity scarves in a few ways. Infinity scarves tend to be longer for wrapping, and have only one edge. Cowls can have any kind of closure or can be pulled over the head.

They tend to fit the neck more snugly than other scarves, which means they are perfect for keeping out chilly drafts. Anyone who's taken a long walk on a windy day could appreciate that!
