FREE CROCHET PATTERN: Watermelon Cowl Infinity Scarf

There is nothing quite like WATERMELON. Love the colors, taste, and how refreshing it is.

These bright fun colors in this cowl and funky zig-zag pattern are easy and can be customized to fit your needs. I added an adjustable flower with a hidden button so you can change the style up as needed. It has a wide neck and sits off the shoulder, perfect for the cool nights in spring/summer.

Materials/Notes/Abbreviations:

• I used Lion Homespun Yarn, but you could use anything Worsted Weight or chunkier
• Color A is City Green, Color B is French Berry.
• You'll need a 9mm hook for this yarn (for thinner yarn, you may want a smaller hook, probably a 6.5mm, to maintain the tighter look of the zig zag), and a large needle to sew in ends.
• This pattern switches colors every row. You can either weavein as you go, or carry them. There is edging that will hide either.
• st = stitch
• sk = skip
• ch = chain
• hdc = half double crochet
• dc = double crochet

 
Cowl Pattern:

•  Using Color A: Ch 27
•  Row 1: Dc - ch 2 - dc into 6th st from hook, sk 2, *dc - ch 2 - dc, sk 2* across, then dc in last ch
•  Row 2: Change to Color B: ch 3, *dc - ch 2 -dc into each ch 2 space* across
•  Row 3: Change to Color A, repeat Row 2
•  Row 4- ? (I did 30) repeat, alternating colors in each row, beginning each with a ch 3
•  You can make this shorter or longer depending on your size and style. Once you reach the desired length, sew the cowl ends together to form a continuous ring. Sew/weave in all ends.
• Edging: I used Color B to edge the cowl and give it a nice finished look, I hdc'd all the way around, using 3 hcd's per space, weaving in ends.

Flower Adjustment Piece:

• Using Color A, create a spiral coiled flower, I used this pattern/video tutorial as my base (I love the series of tutorials she does, very easy to understand!). I then sewed in matching beads in the center of the flower.
• Next, Using Color B, ch 6
• Dc in 2nd ch from hook, then dc across (5 total), ch 2, turn
• Dc in 2nd st, and across, repeat for 15 rows, always ch 2 and turn at the end of each row
• Sew one end of the rectangular piece to the underside of the flower
• Underneath the flower, sew a large button. You can then loop this piece and button it through the other end, bunching it as you like, and adjusting as needed. 
• Enjoy! Cheers!

Happy Hooking!
