The “Bumpy Road Cowl” Pattern

Well, it is definitely a cold, rainy, dark, not nice day here at the lake.  Fall has arrived….big time.  And, with that, I’ve decided that it’s time for another beautiful cowl pattern!!!

I have named this cowl, “The Bumpy Road Cowl” for two reasons:  1.  That is the name of the crochet stitch that I am using for it; and 2.  This year of 2020 seems like it is nothing but a “Bumpy Road”.  

News Flash!!!  This pattern is being featured in the November “Season of Joy” Blog Hop at the Ambassador Crochet Blog!!!

This pattern is so very quick and easy!!!  It uses a beautiful Super Bulky Yarn called “Buttercream Luxe Craft Alpaca” and is available at Joann’s!  It is 80 % acrylic and 20% alpaca.  The combination is just “delicious”, if you ask me!!  As far as the care goes, it is machine washable.  Dry flat and do not iron.  The hook that I used is a Size N/9.00 mm.

You can whip this up so fast.  3 hours and it was done for me, including adding the beautiful buttons and working in the ends.  I’m ready to wear it today!

Using the N Hook, Chain 18. 

Row 1:  In the second chain from the hook, work a single crochet.  Work a single crochet in each of the chains across the row. Ch 2.  Turn.  (17sc)

Row 2:  Work 3 dc in the base of the ch; *skip the next 3 sc, work (1 sc and 3 dc in the next sc)*.  Repeat from * to * to the last 4 stitches.  Skip 3 sc and work 1 sc in the last sc.  Ch 2.  Turn.  (17 st)

Row 3:  Work 3 dc in the base of the ch; *skip the next 3 dc, work (1sc and 3 dc) in the next sc*.  Repeat from * to * across to the last st.  Work 1 sc in the second ch of the turning Ch 2.  Ch 2.  Turn. (17 st)

Repeat Row 3 until your fabric measures approximately 30 inches.  

When cowl measures 30 inches, work 1 dc in each stitch across the next row.  (17 st)

Final Row:  Work 1 sc in each stitch across the row.  (17 st). Do not cut yarn.

Seaming Cowl:  Match 2 short ends of cowl together and using a slip stitch seam together.  To do this, place your hook under the “V” of one side and continue and place hook under “V” of the other side and work a slip stitch.  Continue this across the width of the cowl.  Ch 1. 

Fasten off and cut yarn.

Turn cowl so that seam is on the inside.  

Attach 4 buttons.  (See photo.)

Enjoy your beautiful, and snuggly warm, cowl!!
