Crochet COLD AS F#CK Cowl Pattern + Tutorial

The middle of winter can be cold as f, and we need those accessories to fend for ourselves. This is a named cowl within the vast cowl category, and we have a sister cowl in this category. This is the Cold As F#ck Chunky Fair Isle Cowl pattern.

I prefer not to wear language on my clothing that spells out the words exactly as they should be spelled, and replacing them with alternatives such as this.

This would be a great white elephant gift for those with a sense of humour and who are not offended easily.

Crochet F#CK THIS SH#T Cowl Pattern + Tutorial

Instructions

With A, ch 56. Careful not to twist the chain. Sl st to beg ch to form ring.

1st rnd: RS. Do not chain. 1 sc in each stitch around. Do not join. 56 sc.

TIP: You will now continue in a continuous round, meaning you are not joining at the end of each round. However, you will want to keep an eye on the end of each round. Use a stitch marker on the last stitch and keep moving it up each time you go around.

It’s easier to follow this concept as a graph. While it appears to lack structure, it’s thoroughly planned from start to finish.

Carrying the Unused Colour

You will carry the yarn on the underside of the stitches. The split single crochet favours the front of the project, and the carried yarn stays under the stitches on the back side.

Remember: when changing colour and you need the next stitch to be a solid colour, the final pull-through of the last stitch must be the new colour.

To change colour, work to the last two loops on the hook and draw the new colour through the previous two loops, then proceed in the new colour.

Fair Isle Chart

Read the chart from right to left. There are 56 across with no repeats.

Since this is a continuous round with no slip stitching, keep an eye on the colour of the last stitch in the round versus the first colour of the next round. They may be the same colour as the one finishing the previous round.
