Star Gazer’s Cowl - Free Crochet Pattern

Supplies

  • One skein of Lion Brand Scarfie or approx. 312 yds of a comparable Category 5 yarn
  • M/N/9.0mm crochet hook (I use Clover Amour)
  • Yarn needle
  • Scissors (I always keep these travel scissors in my hook case)

Abbreviations

  • ch: chain
  • sl st: slip stitch
  • SC: single crochet
  • HDC: half-double crochet
  • YO: yarn over hook
  • LOH: loops on hook

Special Stitch

First start stitch of a round: Ch 2, Insert hook into back loop of the second ch from the hook and pull up a loop (2 LOH), insert hook into front loop of the same ch stitch and pull up a loop (3 LOH), insert into the next 3 sts and pull up a loop through each one (6 LOH).  YO and pull through all 6 loops, ch 1 to make the "eye" of the star.

Star stitch: Insert hook into the "eye" of the previous star and pull up a loop (2 LOH), insert hook into the last post of the previous star and pull up a loop (3 LOH), insert your hook into the last stitch of the previous star and pull up a loop (4 LOH), insert hook into the next 2 sts and pull up a loop in each one (6 LOH).  YO and pull through all 6 loops, ch 1 to make the "eye of the star.

Finished Size:

17" long x 14.5" wide

Gauge:

10 sts x 9 rows = 4x4" square in SC

Pattern Notes

  • Chain stitches at the beginning of rounds do not count as a stitch
  • The shape of this finished project is an elongated tube. The yarn is squishy enough for this to fit as a cowl, but the piece can also be pulled up over the head as pictured above.
  • The end of each round is attached to the first stitch of that round with a slip stitch
  • The tension in this project is very loose and it makes a perfectly squishy finished project

Instructions:

Ch 73, join to first ch st with a sl st.  Make sure there are no twists in the chain.

Round 1: Ch 1, SC around (73).  

Round 2: Ch 2, make the first star stitch of the round and continue with star stitches around (instructions and video tutorial above).  When you reach the end of the round, HDC in the last st of the round (this will have already been worked into by the previous star stitch).  (36 stars and 1 HDC).

Round 3: Ch 1, work 2 SC into each "eye" of the star stitches from the previous round and SC in the last HDC st from the previous round. (73 SC)

Rounds 4-33: Repeat rounds 2 and 3 respectively.  Round 33 will be a round of SC sts.  Tie off yarn and weave in ends.
