Free Cross-Hatch Button-Up Cowl Crochet Pattern
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.

Thank You!

November 8, 2017 at 1:04 PM (3 years ago)I was wondering, if I wanted to make it wider, how many sets of chains do I need to add?
Tee
November 16, 2016 at 6:56 PM (4 years ago)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?
Karen Johnson
December 13, 2015 at 4:46 PM (5 years ago)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”?
Diana
January 21, 2016 at 8:02 PM (5 years ago)On row 1 how do you 1ch in the next ch? Is this supposed to be a sc or dc?

February 14, 2016 at 4:21 PM (5 years ago)I’m having trouble trying to figure out how to increase my pattern using the crosshatch stitch. Would you happen to know how to do an increase with this stitch/pattern?

February 20, 2016 at 10:30 PM (5 years ago)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!

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.

I know hook size can make a huge difference

Sara phares
December 9, 2016 at 7:37 PM (4 years ago)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

March 8, 2017 at 11:53 AM (4 years ago)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?
Wendi
March 8, 2017 at 10:06 PM (4 years ago)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.
Wendi
March 8, 2017 at 10:09 PM (4 years ago)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.

August 30, 2017 at 5:07 AM (4 years ago)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!
