Crochet an Easy Beginner Scarf — Then Turn It Into a Cowl
Looking for the ultimate beginner crochet scarf?
This easy scarf pattern uses simple stitches using US terms repeated at regular intervals to create a subtle, textured fabric. Beginners can join the ends to create a cowl, with optional buttonhole loops included in the instructions.
Because gauge isn’t critical, you can use any yarn in your stash — from DK to super bulky — giving each scarf or cowl a completely unique look.
Who Is This For?
This scarf pattern is ideal for:
-
Beginners who want a simple, repeatable crochet project
-
Makers looking for a versatile scarf that can become a cowl
-
Crocheters who want to experiment with yarn from their stash
-
Anyone searching for an easy, beginner-friendly infinity scarf or cowl
If you’ve made small projects like headbands or simple scarves, this pattern is the perfect next step.
What You’ll Learn
By making this scarf, you’ll learn:
-
How to follow a repeatable stitch pattern for consistent texture
-
How to convert a scarf into a cowl using buttonhole loops

How to work with yarn of different weights without worrying about gauge

Designed to incorporate a subtly ribbed pattern, which provides plenty of texture when twisted around the neck either two or three times to add a little sparkle to those grey winter days. The two shorter ends can be fastened with buttons for the cowl effect or left undone to create a scarf.
A free version of this scarf is available on the blog.
SIZING: This incredibly soft and warm cowl is VERY long, measuring 45inches (115cm) long by 5inches (13cm) wide when doubled over.
