Great Granny Cowl Crochet Pattern

Great Granny Cowl Crochet Pattern

The Great Granny Cowl Crochet Pattern uses a crochet stitch that everyone loves to do, the granny stitch.  The granny stitch has been around for as long as I can remember (I won’t say how long lol)  I have a granny square afghan that my Ma made over 30 years ago.

The granny stitch is used to create squares, afghans, cowls, scarves, and SO much more!  The granny stitch uses a combination of 3 double crochets and a chain.  Can you believe that is all it uses to create so many wonderful things?!

 

Information about the Great Granny Cowl Crochet Pattern

My Great Granny Cowl Crochet Pattern has 2 stages in creating the design.  First there is a triangle shawl that covers the chest and then a cowl is created to wrap around the neck.

Here is a little bit of information on the Shelly Crop Top to help you decide if you would like to do the Shelly Crop Top crochet pattern.

 

The Shelly Crop Top is the newest crochet pattern in my Wrapped in Love Line eBook of crochet patterns.  All of the crochet patterns inside the eBook can be found in one place, at my Etsy Shop JosCraftyHook here.

 

In designing the crochet pattern I used Lion Brand Mandala yarn when crocheting my crop top.  You can use any 3 Ply Lightweight yarn or DK weight yarn.  I used an I crochet hook or a 5.5mm hook.

 

The crop top is crocheted as one piece.  You start from the bottom and crochet up to the top, working in the round.  The crop top is seamless.  The only sewing involved is of the front and back straps.  The cool thing about the straps is that the pattern repeats in the straps design.

There is even a Video Tutorial in my YouTube library that shows you how to do the repeat rows that make up the crop top.  If you check out the Video Tutorial please Subscribe to my YouTube channel.  You will be notified when I create more designs, helpful tips and more.  You can Subscribe here.  You can find the video tutorial here.
