The Sheltering Ridge Cowl is a free crochet pattern on my blog!

If you fell in love with my Sheltering Ridge Beanie, this is the perfect match. The Sheltering Ridge Cowl uses the very same squishy puff stitch — raised puffs that stack up like cobblestones, or like snow-capped mountain ridges, and make a thick, cushiony fabric that’s wonderful around your neck.

This cowl is worked as a simple rectangle, with ribbing added to both long edges. Then it’s folded in a mobius style and seamed. That one little twist gives it such a pretty drape, and you never have to crochet in the round.

This pattern includes:

• Full written instructions in US crochet terms
• A special stitch guide for the PO3 puff
• Finished size of approximately 15 1/2” wide x 36” around
• Easy resizing notes (foundation chain in multiples of 2 + 6)
• A video stitch tutorial to go with the written pattern
