PEEK-A-BOO INFINITY COWL
The Chevron stitch is such a fascinating stitch. I have used this stitch to make so many projects and today we’re going to work on an infinity cowl.
An infinity cowl is an unending cowl – or rather a scarf that is all tied up 😊
You can make this project into a scarf, a cowl or a wrap too. Come along and see how.
This blog has video tutorials for all stitches used in this creation.

Materials used : Today I’ve used ~ 120 gms of (Indian) Oswal Cashmilon 3-ply acrylic yarn with a 3.5 mm crochet hook.
This yarn is not specific for this project.
You can use any yarn with a suitable hook to make this project to any size.
Difficulty level : Easy to Intermediate Skill level.
Stitches used :
Starting slip knot : Here’s how you start with a slip knot. https://youtu.be/lJcqsVcs8cw
Starting slip knot 1 or the Sloppy Slip knot : This is a neat new way to start your work without a slip knot. https://youtu.be/YfC7KmGpifs
What is a slip stitch : Here is a neat video tutorial at https://youtu.be/weB3QNbA8Iw
Double Crochet : dc : yo, insert hk into st ; yo (3 lps on hk); [yo, draw through 2 lps] twice. One dc made. Check out the video at https://youtu.be/xdnjB27zpYo
Chainless start for Double Crochet : I dislike the ch-2 / ch – 3 start, and this is what I do to start my row of dc.
Check out the video at https://youtu.be/wskv3iTjRx0
Abbreviations used : Using U.S Terminology
dc : Double crochet sp(s) : Space(s)
st(s) : Stitch(es) hk : Hook
lp : Loop(s) yo : Yarn Over
sk : Skip sc : Single crochet
ch : Chain
fsc : Foundation Single Crochet
Instructions : (Using U.S Terminology)
Please note that I start all my rows with a ch 1, turning chain for ease.
Please check the top of this blog for easy video tutorials on all stitches used in today's pattern.
Please read through all my notes before you pick up your hook, so you know just where we're heading in our pattern.
In my patterns I work with the principle of stitch count and body measurement. This means that you need to work the stitch count in pattern, till you get the measurement (length and/or width) that you need for your project.
The Chevron stitch is a fascinating one that only involves dc and ch (how easy is that??).
Most patterns involve a decrease stitch, but I’ve tried to work it even simpler without an decrease or ‘together’ stitches. Hope you enjoy it too.

In
case the video does not come on, go to https://youtu.be/AbWRcIl9SLg
Our stitch count is in multiples of any even number (depending on the width you want for your scarf)
Remember though that the Chevon stitch scrunches up the width a bit.So may I suggest you start with the count given, see if that works for you and then tweak the start number of stitches accordingly.
Foundation Single Crochet : fsc : To refresh your skill on the fsc, please view this video https://youtu.be/mcT85fwh4mA
Start with 30 fsc. Turn.
Row 1 : 2 dc into the 1st fsc ;
dc in the next 3 fsc ;
*sk 2 fsc, dc into next 4 fsc ;
ch 2 , dc in next 4 fsc*;
rep *to* once ;
sk 2 fsc, dc in next 3 fsc ;
2 dc in last fsc, Turn.
Row 2 : 2 dc into the 1st st ;
*dc into the next 3 dc ;
sk 2 dc, dc in next 3 dc ;
dc in the next ch-2 sp ;
ch 2, dc in same ch-2 sp* ;
rep *to* once more ;
dc in next 3 dc ;
sk 2 dc, dc in the last 3 dc ;
2 dc in last dc. Turn
Repeat Row 2 till you reach desired length.
Finishing :
So you can either join the two ends to make a continuous scarf – or the Infinity cowl OR you can leave it as a scarf with the two unjoined ends.
To make this a one-piece infinity scarf :
Please pin your work to get an even finish.
Weave in ends.
Block before use, according to yarn instructions.
Choose from the three joining methods.
Note : As this pattern has ‘waves’ (or a “V” pattern) , joining is a bit tricky.
Whipstitch to join : Here’s a quick tutorial on how to join using the whipstitch at https://youtu.be/wZ-9LNzftMA
Invisible join : Here’s a quick tutorial on how to join using the embroidery needle and whipstitch to get an invisible join at https://youtu.be/a6XZQ6VzJFM
Single crochet to join : Here’s a quick tutorial on how to join using the single crochet at https://youtu.be/6FXoW_47_dI
To make this a regular scarf :
If you decide that you do not wish to join the ends as you like the wavy finish, keep it just as it is and you have a lovely scarf.
Hang a few tassels off the ends and you can easily increase the length as well.
To make this a Wrap :
To make this a Wrap :
If you decide to make this a wrap, you just need to start with a larger number of stitches (in multiples of an even number) and then work the same pattern.
Once again I'll remind you that the Chevron stitch scrunches the pattern a bit. But as you've made the scarf - check the width of that creation and work on the number of stitches you'd need, using the yarn you've chosen with the suitable hook.
