Blue Mountains Cowl is a simple, textured cowl worked in the round with a relaxing 3-round repeat. It uses only basic stitches—sc, hdc, dc, and chains—but the little shell pattern makes it look much fancier than it is.

You can start with a foundation double crochet or a traditional chain + dc row, then work repeating rounds of shells and chain spaces until your cowl is about 8” tall (or the height you like). There’s no shaping, and only a tiny gap to sew closed at the beginning, so it’s a great “take anywhere” project.

This pattern is perfect if you:

Love easy, meditative repeats

Want a cozy cowl with pretty texture and openness

Need a quick gift or TV-crochet project

Make it in a deep, moody shade for mountain vibes or a bright color to pop against your winter coat – either way, the Blue Mountains Cowl will be a favorite grab-and-go piece.
