Easy Chunky Cowl Sheila Cowl Tutorial
The chunky Sheila Cowl crochet pattern adds just enough sparkle and all the warmth for those wintry days. Stay toasty and stylish with this easy chunky cowl design. You can crochet this cozy neck warmer with just one ball of yarn.
I love working with thick, squishy yarn when the weather is cold. I might have sweaters and jackets galore, but my neck can always use a chunky cowl. And these are just so satisfying to work up-fast and so cozy.
The first Sheila Cowl I created as a gift. These are some of my favs to give, as they’re easy, chunky and only use one ball of yarn.
I love creating handmade squishiness to bless those teachers, friends and family with at the holidays. When it came time for pattern writing, it was all too easy to make another and include even more pictures.

Cowl Crochet Pattern
Ch 19
Row 1. V St in 5th ch from hook (skipped sts count as a dc), *{sk next 2 chs, V St in next ch} rep from * across to last 2 sts, sk next ch, dc in last ch, turn. (17 sts)
Row 2. Ch 3, sk next dc, *{(2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc) in next ch 1 sp, sk next 2 dc}, rep from *across to last 2 dcs, sk next dc, dc in last st, turn. (27 sts)
Row 3. Ch 3, sk next 2 dcs, *{V st in next ch 1 sp, sk next 4 dcs} rep from * across to last 3 dcs, sk next 2 dcs, dc in last, turn. (17 sts)
Row 4. Rep Row 2.
Row 5. Rep Row 3.
Keep repeating rows 2-3. Til you have 18 rows, or 20.” Leave a long tail for seaming.
Fold in half, short end to short end.
Find the center, fold one side (with both layers) toward the center. Sew together, be sure to catch all 4 layers. Rep on opposite side.
Fold the opposite end toward the center and continue sewing across.
Option 1
Turn cowl so seams are front and center. Poke seams into fabric to hide them. Weave in ends. Sew on button.
Now add the perfect button.
Option 2
Turn right side out. Weave in ends. Add button if desired.
The white one is right side out, no button & the blue one is wrong side out with a button. I think both options are beautiful!
