Crochet Cluster Cowl

This Crochet Cluster Cowl is the perfect accessory to throw on over a t-shirt. Add a denim jacket or an oversized flannel and you instantly feel fancy. I love it!

I’ve been sitting on this Paragon Sport yarn (discontinued) for a while now. I tried to use it for the Let it Bee Wrap but with how textured this yarn is, and how textured that stitch was, it just wasn’t working for me. The clusters in this cowl, however, are the perfect complimenting stitch! The detail is eye-catching and the sheen is to die for!

If you can make a chain, a single crochet, a half double crochet, and a double crochet, you can make this cowl. There is even a video tutorial for this stitch. Woot!

I decided to use fringe of varying lengths for this one. I almost decided to turn it into twisted fringe but again, with the extra texture of this yarn I decided to keep it simple. If you use a different yarn to make yours, definitely revisit the twisted fringe idea because I think that would be so boho chic!

As written, this cowl is 14″ wide (28″ total circumference) and about 11″ tall (not including fringe). If you do not have quite the 500 yards as pictured, you can simply stop early. It will end up just a bit shorter but it will be glorious no matter! I do recommend cutting the fringe before you’ve used all of your yarn, just in case you’re cutting it closer than you think.
