This free crochet pattern is Colorado Sunrise Cowl! I named it that because the colors I used remind me of a Colorado sunrise. The cowl is made with only a portion of the yarn in a 315 yds skeins of yarn.

Quite literally, grab what yarn you have remaining form that blanket you just finished and begin :-) I used 4 colors for this particular cowl but you can use less or more it is totally up to you! The trick is to use whichever color you choose for at least 2 rows so that you get this fantastic chevron look.

The chevron look is accomplished by doing the Long Double Crochet Chevron Stitch Pattern. Not sure what that is? NO worries, I’ve done a YouTube Tutorial just for you! Here is a link to the written instructions for the basic long double crochet chevron stitch.

The yarn used in this free crochet pattern is Red Heart, “With Love” which comes in MANY different colors. Choose one that is right for you. This one is for my sister (she is the model) who looks just wonderful in these colors. My daughter wants me to make her one in pink and white so you might see on like that posted on here soon :-)

Gentle reminder: It has just come to my attention that many people are unaware that free patterns still have copyrights and it is not legal to distribute. I ask that if you like the pattern and want to tell your friends that you share the link to the pattern. By doing so you are allowing me to make a little money via advertising which in turn makes it possible for me to keep designing fun and free patterns.

Thanks so much!
