Cross-Hatch Button-Up Cowl Crochet Pattern – Winter is quickly approaching but I have to be honest and admit that it’s not my favorite season, but at least I’ll be cozy this winter with this thick and rich cross-hatch button-up crochet cowl. 

I actually crocheted this cowl back in August while I watched my daughter swim at the lake – how’s that for being prepared! I’m sure all the other beach dwellers were thinking “um, kinda hot out here to be making a scarf.”

This cowl is the perfect crochet pattern for beginners or even the more experienced crocheter. It is super easy and quick to make; I made it in one day. The yarn I used is really soft and I love how thick and luxurious it feels when I wear it.

It’s the perfect crochet scarf pattern – make one for yourself and then make more for the special people in your life!

Cross-Hatch Button-Up Cowl Crochet Pattern

NOTES: Pattern in U.S. crochet terminology

SKILL LEVEL: EASY

MATERIALS:

  • Hook: U.S. N/9.00mm
  • Bulky size 5 Yarn – 2 skeins (Loops & Threads Charisma used in photos) – approx. 180 yards.
  • 2 x 1.25” buttons
  • Darning Needle & Scissors

ABBREVIATIONS:

  • st = stitch
  • ch = chain
  • sl = slip stitch
  • sc = single crochet
  • dc = double crochet

FINISHED SIZE:  10” wide, 36” long.

PATTERN:

Make a slip knot and chain 36.

ROW 1: 2dc in the 4th ch from the hook, skip 3 ch, 1 ch in the next ch, * ch 3, 1 dc in each of the next 3 chs, skip the next 3 ch, sc in the next ch, repeat from * across row, turn.

ROW 2: Ch 3, 2 dc in next st, *skip next 3 dc, [1 sc, ch 3, 3 dc] in the next ch-3 space, skip the st, repeat from * across ending skip last 2 sts, sc in the top of the turning chain, turn.

ROWs: 3 -47 (or until it reaches 35” in length): Repeat row 2.

ROW 48: sl st in first 3 sts, carry on as usual as per row 2 until the last shell space, then 1 sc in each of the next 2 sts, sl st into the last st.

Break yarn, weave in ends.

FINISH:

Sew on your buttons. One end has 4 points and the other end has 5 points. Lay the finished piece down with the end with 4 points on the right and the end with 5 points on the left. To figure out the placement of buttons, on the end with the  5 points and side closest to you, sew the first button between shell 1 and shell 2 in the 3rd row (the center of the button should be about 2” from each edge).  The second button should also be between shell 1 and shell 2 but should be further down in row 7, approx. 3” from the center of the other button. Once complete, wrap the cowl around your neck and button the buttons in the space between the shells in between rows 2 and 3.

    I’m so glad I found this pattern! I have two skeins of the same color charisma yarn and couldn’t find the right pattern to use them for. This is perfect. Thank you!

        I was wondering, if I wanted to make it wider, how many sets of chains do I need to add?

      Seems to be an error in Row 1. ROW 1: 2dc in the 4th ch from the hook, skip 3 ch, 1 ch in the next ch, * ch 3, 1 dc in each of the next 3 chs, skip the next 3 ch, sc in the next ch, repeat from * across row, turn.

      It says skip 3 ch, 1 ch in next ch…

      I’m guessing it’s 1 SC in next ch?

    In row one: “ROW 1: 2dc in the 4th ch from the hook, skip 3 ch, 1 ch in the next ch”, do you mean, “…. 1 sc in the next ch” instead of “…. 1 ch in the next ch”?

    Beautiful cowl! But I have a couple questions about the pattern:
    ROW 1: 2dc in the 4th ch from the hook, skip 3 ch, [1 ch in the next ch]. Do you mean 1 sc in the next ch?
    ROW 2: Ch 3, [2 dc in next st, *skip next 3 dc]… Do you mean 2 dc in the same stitch? Because if I put the 2 dc in the next stitch, there’s only 2 dc to skip.
    Thanks!

    Started working on the cross hatch button-up cowl and having problems. After chaining 36 & 2 dc in 4th chain from hook. The wording after that in row one not making sense. I’m far from new to crocheting but having a terrible time can you help?

    skip 3 ch, 1 ch in the next ch, * ch 3, 1 dc in each of the next 3 chs, skip the next 3 ch, sc in the next ch, repeat from * across row, turn.

    Pattern says Hook size says USN/9mm actually USN is a 10mm hook, or USM/9mm which one do you recommend?

    I know hook size can make a huge difference

    Thanks,

    In row 2 that you repeat, kind of confused where it says in next ch 3 space skip st, does this mean one time or every other time since to my understanding bracket and or * means that’s the main pattern

    There is a typo in row 1. ROW 1: 2dc in the 4th ch from the hook, skip 3 ch, 1 CH IN THE NEXT CH, * ch 3, 1 dc in each of the next 3 chs, skip the next 3 ch, sc in the next ch, repeat from * across row, turn. SHOULD BE ONE SC IN THE NEXT CH?

    Hi Jamey,
    I just found this pattern and I love it. Quick question, the pattern states “ROW 1: 2dc in the 4th ch from the hook, skip 3 ch, 1 ch in the next ch, *ch 3…”. How do I chain one on the next chain then chain 3 more? Is that meant to be 1sc in the next ch?
    Thanks.

    I would love to make a smaller version of this for a young girl. She’s about 5′ and has a slender frame.
    Would using medium weight yarn and a smaller hook
    (I or J) do the trick?
    Thank you!
