This free Dusk hooded cowl pattern from Knit and Crochet Ever After makes such a cosy winter accessory, combining a snug hood with a warm neck warmer. Working with super bulky yarn means it works up really fast into a thick, windproof DIY piece you can easily finish in just a couple of sittings!
The stitch pattern pairs basic half double crochet with slip stitches to create a thick, ribbed texture with plenty of warmth and drape. While the neck cowl section is worked in the round, turning your work after every round keeps the seam perfectly straight and prevents the texture from twisting. From there, the hood portion builds upward to keep those frosty winter winds out, all while keeping things lovely, relaxed, and never too tight! It makes a thoughtful, practical handmade holiday gift that looks far more intricate than it is to stitch. Grab a couple skeins of super bulky yarn, your favorite large crochet hook, and follow along with the video to crochet this cozy DIY Dusk hooded cowl for winter!
