Valley Yarns WEBS Emerging Designer Infinity Cowl
What Is Being Made
The Valley Yarns WEBS Emerging Designer Infinity Cowl is a circular, loop-style neckwear piece designed by Angelia Robinson. This cowl features a finished circumference of 29 inches and a length of 9 inches, making it an ideal accessory for layering and everyday wear. The infinity cowl design allows it to be worn in multiple ways, draped loosely around the neck or wrapped for added warmth and coverage.
Construction Techniques
This crochet cowl employs a distinctive construction method that combines multiple techniques to create visual interest and structural integrity. The pattern begins with linked ring motifs that form the foundation of the piece. Fourteen individual rings are created and strategically linked together, with each ring overlapping at specific chain-space intervals to establish a secure connection. The rings are then worked outward on both sides using a band construction method, allowing the fabric to expand from the ring structure. The piece incorporates both worked flat sections within the rings and worked in the round techniques as bands are constructed from front to back. A seamed approach is used to join the rings and integrate the bands, creating a cohesive, finished garment.
Stitches and Stitch Work
The Valley Yarns WEBS Emerging Designer Infinity Cowl utilizes fundamental crochet stitches executed with precision. The primary stitch used throughout is the double crochet (dc), which forms the body of both the rings and the bands. Chain stitches (ch) are used to create spaces and transitions between stitches, with chain-4 and chain-1 spaces appearing frequently in the pattern. Treble crochet (tr) stitches are incorporated at strategic points, particularly where rings overlap and bands connect, adding height and visual definition. Slip stitches (sl st) are used to join rounds and create seamless transitions throughout the construction. A special stitch featured in this pattern is reverse single crochet, which creates a textured, finished edge. The pattern also includes abbreviations for skipping stitches (sk) and working into spaces (sp), which are essential to maintaining proper gauge and shaping.
Materials and Tools
This cowl requires 3 skeins of Valley Yarns Colrain yarn in the colorway Grey Olive. Valley Yarns Colrain is a luxury blend composed of 50% Merino Wool and 50% Tencel, offering both warmth and breathability. Each skein contains 109 yards and weighs 50 grams, providing ample yardage for the complete project. A G/6 (4.00mm) crochet hook is recommended, though crocheters should use the hook size necessary to obtain the specified gauge. The pattern calls for a gauge of approximately 18 stitches and 9 rows equaling 4 inches when worked in double crochet, ensuring proper fit and drape of the finished cowl.
Difficulty Level
This pattern is rated as beginner friendly, making it an excellent choice for newer crocheters looking to expand their skills. While the linked ring construction and band technique may appear complex, the pattern uses basic stitches and clear instructions suitable for those with foundational crochet knowledge. The repetitive nature of the ring motifs and band rounds allows crafters to develop consistency and rhythm in their work.
