Gold Luxe Cowl (Free Crochet Pattern)
Dear fellow crocheters,
I'm thrilled to share with you this beautifully-textured, reversible, and oh-so-soft crochet infinity scarf: the Gold Luxe Cowl!
It has such an AMAZING drape. Like its name, this yarn definitely feels luxurious. I named this cowl "Gold Luxe" after the "Vel-luxe" yarn that I used, because I find it to be just so fitting!
As you can see, it features interesting texture on both the right and wrong sides! The right side has a knit-like look, even though it is crocheted. The wrong side has a bumpy, almost seed-stitch look to it. Check out the side-by-side comparison below!
I definitely think both sides are lovely to wear out, depending on the type of look you're going for! Two-in-one style is a pretty nice deal for a single scarf, wouldn't you think?
Aside from flipping it inside-out, there are different ways to wear this reversible cowl too. Loop it twice around your neck, or wrap it just once. For extra warmth, pull it up as a scoodie (“scarf + hoodie”)!
Oh, and I absolutely must show you the the beautiful, cushy yarn that I used. This is Lion Brand Vel-Luxe yarn, as I've mentioned earlier, and it's my first time working with velvety yarn. I'm so glad I got this brand, because it feels. Like. A. DREAM!!! 💖

PATTERN INSTRUCTIONS
Pattern Notes (read before beginning):
[A] Yarn is held doubled throughout this pattern, making it work up quickly![B] This cowl is worked in joined rounds.
Let's Begin!
Hold the yarn doubled. Pick your preferred Foundation Row method below:[A: Chainless Foundation Method]
Work the foundation HDC stitch [video tutorial] to 60” or desired length. Without twisting the foundation row, join using a sl st to the first hdc.
[B: Chain Foundation Method]
Alternatively, if you do not wish to use the foundation HDC method, make a long chain to 60” or desired length. Being careful not to twist the chain, join with a sl st to the first ch. Ch 2, then insert a hdc in each ch. Make sure your foundation row is not twisted. Join with a sl st to the first hdc.
After making your foundation, continue with the pattern below.
R1: Ch 2. Hdc in the 3rd loop [video tutorial] around. Join with a sl st to the first hdc.R2-R21: Repeat R1 until the width of your cowl reaches 10”, or desired width. (Note: I went up to R21 to reach 10”.)
R22: Ch. Sc in 3rd loop around. Join with a sl st to the first sc.
Fasten off and weave in the ends. Congratulations on finishing!
