Crochet Mermaid Cowl Pattern + Tutorial

Sharing is caring!

You can try the Crochet Mermaid Cowl by Yarnspirations. The original pattern published a few years back featured Bernat Mosaic, a slowly transitioning yarn. Today, it is discontinued, but thousands of us have this particular yarn in our yarn collections at home. You cannot find this yarn online to buy at this time. If you see this in a store near you, consider it like winning a lottery.

The mermaid cowl crochets in a continuous circle. To help you. One round is a base round where the scales from the next round sit on it. The next round is the scale round. So when you look at the diagram below, hopefully, it will make a lot of sense to you.

  • Size H or 5 mm Crochet Hook.

The cowl will be approx 8" wide by 37" around.

    Hi Mikey! This is really nice!! But if we don't have the Mosaic, do you have any suggestions on yarn we can substitute for a similar outcome or color change flow?

      Any yarn that will transition in colour if you are looking for something like that. Bernat Mosaic was discontinued back in 2013.
