Cozy and Stylish Cowls ~ 25 FREE Crochet Patterns – Part 1

Fall is here and winter is just around the corner. The leaves have started changing colors, which means the snow will soon begin to fall. And that means we’ll need to bundle up as we head out to run errands or while visiting with friends and family. And what better way to keep your neck and shoulders warm than with a stylish and cozy cowl?

The great thing about cowls is that they will stay on, regardless of how much running around you do. Another great thing is that they can be worn in different ways, including with or without a jacket. If the cowl is long enough, you can wear it like a scarf. Or, you can wrap it around for a snug and cozy fit around the neck.

The following collection includes cowls that can be worn by women of all ages. So I hope that you will enjoy this collection for free cowl crochet patterns.
