Hi friends! I’m so excited to bring you another great design from my friend Breann from Hooked on Homemade Happiness! She’s so sweet and makes such cute crochet designs. Show her some love!

Hi! I’m Breann from Hooked on Homemade Happiness where I love to share modern and stylish crochet patterns. There’s nothing like making your own clothing and accessories and being able to say, “I made this!”
This Boho Fringe Cowl is fun and full of fringe! The design is more open and airy than a winter cowl, so it’s perfect for spring and even summer. I like to match it with a plain tee with some jeans to add some extra fun to my outfit, but it would also be super cute with a sundress and some boots.
PATTERNS I LOVE (& you should too)
1. Crochet Ava Poncho / 2. Crochet Weekender Tunic / 3. Crochet June Sun Hat
I used Caron Simply Soft in Taupe for this cowl for it’s sleek and shiny look, but any worsted weight (category 4) yarn would work perfectly. I really love adding fringe to a lot of my spring and summer makes. This cowl looks great without the fringe, too! It’s totally optional. Either way, you’re going to have one seriously cute cowl.

Hi! Thank you for the pattern! how come mine looks like a cowl tighter and not so loose or near as long and I followed to a t.
I’d recommend giving it a good steam with either a laundry steamer or an iron set to seam (don’t touch the iron to it!). That should losen up the fibers and relax the fringe to look more like the photo 🙂
My cowl was too small as well; my fault for not checking the gauge. Have frogged and will try again. Pattern is well written; Fast and easy piece!
Thanks for the awesome pattern. I did mine in cotton dk and a 7mm hook ( I crochet super tight). Didn’t bother checking gauge but it seemed to come out alright. Plan on wearing it to a festival this afternoon, perfect for if it gets chilly later during this heat wave.
The patterns is so cute but I ran into an issue in the final round.
The increases in the final round say you should end up with 120 sts. But using those increases it only gives you 110 sts. Is the final round supposed to have 110 or 120 sts?
Thank you
