Unisex Cowl - Knit and Herringbone stitch

Unisex Cowl Crochet Pattern

Very easy and quick to crochet cowl. You can make in no time for yourself or for a present! I started mine for my husband but liked it so much that I kept it for myself and will give him the second one I make :)

The pattern combines half double crochet knit stitch (half treble US terms) and the Herringbone stitch.

How to crochet the special stitches:

HDCKS - Half double crochet knit stitch

Yarn over the same way as for the half double crochet. Now is the important part - insert the hook in the back bar of the stitch (that's the third one, just below the back stitch). Once your hook is inserted into the back bar, yarn over and pull through, yarn over and pull through the 3 loops you have on the hook.

In less words might be clearer - we work the same way as do HDC but instead of inserting the hook through both stitches on the top (front one and the back one) we work through the back bar.

The Herringbone stitch (half double Herringbone)

Yarn over, insert the hook through the top stitches (front and back), yarn over and pull through all the stitches.

The pattern:

Note: the pattern is worked in rounds.

I made a chain of 100 + 2 (the last two are the first stitch of my row 1).

Row 1: HDC (Half treble US)

Row 2 and 3: HDCKS

Row 4 and 5: Herringbone stitch

Row 6, 7, 8: HDCKS

Row 9 and10: Herringbone stitch

Row 11 and12: HDCKS

Row 13 and 14: Herringbone stitch

Row 15, 16, 17: HDCKS

Row 18 and 19: Herringbone stitch

Row 20 and 21: HDCKS

Row 21 and 23: Herringbone stitch

Row 24, 25, 26: HDCKS

Row 27 and 28: Herringbone stitch

Row 29 and 30: HDCKS

Last Row: HDCKS

Finish with slip stitch to join or even better - use the tapestry needle join. It is one of the tidiest ways to join the round. I will load pictures and explanation on how to do it in another post.

Enjoy the crochet!

Pattern notes PDF version , should you wish to purchase one is available from the Etsy site . Please note that the measurements are approximate. The actual length and width will depend on your tension which might be different than mine and the type of yarn used.

For example, if you want 5 repeats, multiply 17 by 5 (which gives 85 stitches), then add 3 more stitches, bringing you to a total of 88. If you plan to add a wide border, simply increase the number of stitches evenly on both sides to your liking. For example, the blanket shown h...
