Market Cowl – Free Crochet Pattern

May 29, 2018 3 Comments

Crochet the versatile Market Cowl, a free pattern that does double duty as a layering-friendly cowl or wrap.
Who doesn’t need a workhorse accessory that is layering-friendly & serves double duty? The Market Cowl is a beginner-friendly crochet pattern that makes use of chain stitches, single crochet and slip stitches to great effect. The breathable mesh fabric created with these simple stitches is excellent for warmer weather wear. Doubled up, the Market Cowl can be worn around the neck, and around the shoulders, this piece makes a stylish infinity wrap too!
