Cluster Stitch Cowl Crochet Pattern

I love keeping cozy on a frosty winter day. That’s why there’s nothing better than a good winter cowl.

This particular crochet cowl pattern is fun and super warm. It’s stitched up using the beautiful cluster stitch. The cluster stitch adds a lot of texture and mixed with the acrylic wool blend of a plymouth hot cake, the stitches really pop.

The yarn is soft and easy to care for, being that it’s machine washable. It can be tossed in the dryer too if you’re in a rush! Every hot cake comes with a built in color shift. This particular cowl is to be worked in the denim mix which has various shades of blues with cream.

This cowl would be great on a winter vacation in the mountains, or just an extra holiday treat for someone you love.

This cozy cowl is really special because of the chunky cluster stitch it’s made with. The color shift of the plymouth hot cake yarn really makes the stitches pop, and you don’t have to weave in any pesky ends. This is a fun and fast pattern that anyone should try out. You can always use a warm scarf.
