Crochet Cowl Pattern
The latest in the line, Coraline in San Francisco Cowl Wrap is a free crochet cowl pattern. With more than 8 different ways to wear this cowl wrap, it is the most versatile in the line.
When I started my Coraline in Morocco Cowl, I just knew I needed to try some variations and I could not stick to any single one, and so there were two- and now three. (Find the Coraline in Morocco Cowl HERE and see the difference in width by scrolling down the page past the pattern.)
I made this special for Coraline. She travels solo and goes wherever the culture leads. Yes. It’s CORAline, not Caroline. She’s headed to San Francisco next week and loves the other cowls I’ve made for her as she’s been on sabbatical. She wanted a wrap this time for her cool morning bike rides to the gallery. Coraline doesn’t crochet, but she’s starting to wish she did.
This 4-skein pattern works up quickly and is easy intermediate.

I wish there was some where I could watch a video to show me how to put this on in the different ways. (I’m not very talented in that part.)
Thank you for the pattern, it was so very fast and easy.
Is the Coraline an infinity scarf? The pictures look like its put together at the end but the instructions don’t seem like it. I just made one and love it!
It is an infinity. Join at each round and don’t turn.
Thank you!

Mary aka yayamama
Thank you, Mary!
Beautiful. thanks for sharing.
My pleasure!
I love the pattern Coraline in San Francisco. I would like to make it in a smaller yarn, I am not happy with things I have made in Bulky yarn. For a spring, or summer one, how would it look to make it in #3 or #4 yarn? Would it drape right?
Thank you for your kind words, Nancy! The drape just depends on the yarn because as you know, some are really not “drape friendly” as they can be stiff. If you do change the weight of the yarn, you’ll end up with a much smaller piece.
Perhaps I just need to bite the bullet and create a light weight Coraline? 😉
I purchased two patterns from you on Etsy and I only got one. Is there a place where I can see patterns I have bought on Etsy?
Hi, Susan!
I’m so sorry I’m just seeing this message. Did everything work out? Under your profile, there is a spot called Purchases and everything should be listed there. Please let me know. Thank you for your support!
I’m trying to see if I can make this for my daughter. Is this made in the rounds then. Thank you
Yes it is, Peggy. Enjoy!
