Viola Cowl Pattern – February Scarf of the Month Club CAL

When you purchase through links on my site, I may earn an affiliate commission.
Here’s how it works.

This month for the February Scarf of the Month Club CAL I have designed a quick and easy pattern for you to make. This is the Viola Cowl Pattern and you will need 1 ball of Medium Weight Yarn and a 6.5 mm (K) crochet hook.  If you scroll to the end of this post, you will find the full written pattern for the Viola Cowl.

[disclaimer] Red Heart sent me the yarn and the hook I used for this pattern. This post includes affiliate links. If you make a purchase after clicking on an affiliate link, I may receive a small commission for the referral at no additional expense to you.[/disclaimer]

The yarn I used this month was given to me by Red Heart and it is lovely. This yarn is called An Italian Story Ombra and it is a chain-ply or chain yarn. This means the yarn already resembles a loose chain. When you crochet with a chain yarn it creates a lovely texture and stitch definition. One of my favorite shawl patterns uses a similar chain yarn Midnight Aura Wrap.

Notes:

  • This project is worked back and forth in rows, before being seamed together on the side edges to form a ring.
  • You may wish to mark the RS of the fabric with a stitch marker.
  • I work in the back bump of the starting chain but you can work under the front (top) loop if you prefer.
  • The initial ch 1 does not count as a stitch.
  • The initial ch 5 counts as 1 dc and a ch 2.
  • Finishing can be done using a different seaming technique if you prefer. A whipstitch seam will work equally well.
  • Stitch multiple of 4 plus 1

Finishing Instructions

  • Fold the fabric in half, with the two side edges touching and the WS of the fabric facing outward (towards you).  
  • You will work a slip stitch seam to join the two edges together. See this tutorial for help.
  • When I worked the seam I worked 2 sl st for each dc and 1 sl st for each sc, up the side edge.
  • I worked under 1 loop of the st only (not around the whole post).
  • Finish off at the end of the seam and weave in your ends.
  • Turn your project RS out.

  1. Love your patterns and helpful hints…your halfdouble crochet is my go too hat ..thank you😎😎

  2. Hi Joni, Usually (but not always!) the RS is the first Row (after the initial foundation chain). Being a right-handed crocheter this means that the yarn tail that I had at the beginning will be on the bottom left of my work when the Right Side is facing me. So like a book where I read from left to right, the yarn end that I started with is on the left if the Right Side is facing…I hope that makes sense? So for this specific pattern When you have your work on a flat surface and the yarn end you started with is in the bottom left corner, the the right side (RS) is facing you 🙂 Hope this helps, Rhondda

  3. Never can figure out the ws or rs, I just Crochet away, lol Is there a way to tell?
