Williams Puff Cowl Crochet Pattern

Are you looking for an easy to crochet cowl pattern? If so, you’ll love this puff scarf because it uses simple crochet stitches and works up fast.

This is a perfect cowl project for crocheters who’d like to try their crochet skills at something a little more advanced, but still simple enough that you won’t be overwhelmed.

The Yarn for a Bulky Cowl

The Williams Puff cowl crochet pattern was designed with a bulky five weight yarn, which is perfect for the chilly temps that fall & winter bring.

Come November, it starts to become freezing here in PA, so I am excited to try this cowl out soon.

The Yarn

I used two skeins of bulky five weight yarn called Charisma Tweed Stripes from Loops & Threads in the colorway Sweet Dreams.

It is a beautiful tweed yarn from Micheal’s that is available in a wide array of solid colors, patterns and more.

Charisma

This yarn is made by Loops and Threads, and is a Weight 5 – Bulky yarn.

Fiber: 100% Acrylic
Yardage: 109 yd. / 100 m
Hook: 8 mm (L-11)
Substitute: Bernat Softee Chunky

You will more than likely find one color that you love, just like I did for your crocheted cowl. You can click the image above of the yarn to take a look at all the colors you can shop.

Truth be told, I designed this cowl over 3 years ago with a different brand of yarn that is no longer available, so I was excited when I found this yarn that fit perfectly with this cowl’s design and stitches.

What Stitches Do I Need to Know for the Williams Cowl?

Speaking of stitches, you will need to know some basic crochet stitches to make this cowl. The stitches are all fairly easy to learn, all of which I will link up below.

I also wanted to mention that after I finished the main part of this easy crochet cowl pattern, I ended with a row of slip stitches. I wanted to make a nice clean edge, which you can see in the photo above at the top of the cowl.
