Misty Mornings Cowl: Free Crochet Pattern in 3 Sizes
Make the Misty Mornings Cowl in 3 sizes using twisted stitches for texture. Free pattern with a photo tutorial included.
The Yarn
For this month’s Crochet Club Patterns, I used Caron Cinnamon Swirl Cakes yarn. This 100% acrylic yarn is easy to crochet with and comes in many fun color combinations.
I chose the Color Marble because I was drawn to the misty soft colors. I think they look really beautiful together.

BONUS: You can make this easy crochet scarf with any yarn and hook combination you have on hand.
Be sure to check my “You can use any yarn and hook to make this project!” section at the end of the post. I explain how you can use any yarn and hook to make your project. Plus, you can make this in any size, just by changing the number of starting chains, or the number of rows you crochet.
For extra help with the twisted stitches, view the photo tutorial at the end of the pattern.

Gauge
Approximately 12 dc per 4 inches and 8 rows per 4 inches worked in pattern; starting with sc row.
You can substitute any yarn and hook for this stitch pattern – just remember when you substitute if your gauge is different, the finished size, and amount of yarn used for your project will also be different.
Sl st to join in the first st of the round. The sl st does not count as a stitch and we do not work into it.
When I work into the foundation chain, I prefer working into the back bar (back bump) of the chain. You can work under the back loop only if you prefer.
To make this cowl circumference longer, chain more stitches using the stitch multiple. work more rows using the repeat section of the pattern.
To increase the height of the cowl, work more rows using the repeat section of the pattern.
Extra photos are provided at the end of the pattern for the twisted stitches and crossed stitches.
This project is crocheted lengthwise in joined rounds.

Finishing Instructions:
Finish off and weave in your ends.
You can use any yarn and hook to make this project!
With the yarn and hook you’ve chosen for the project, chain until you reach the length you’d like for your scarf (shawl, or blanket); or chain until your length measures 38 inches. Make sure the number of chains you have can be divided by 2 evenly.
Follow the pattern as written.
Continue crocheting until your project is the width you would like it to be, or until it measures approximately 8 inches height. If you’d like it to be wider, work additional repeat rounds (Rnd 5-9) before working the final 2 rounds.
Finish off and weave in your ends.
