I’m so excited to be sharing with you my latest design: The Squishtastic Cowl!! The name pretty much sums up the texture from this cuddly cowl. It’s crocheted using the Ladders stitch with just under 3 skeins of Red Heart Yarn’s “Unforgettable” yarn and it’s oh-so-squishy!

This pattern was inspired while making the video tutorial for the Ladders stitch and I just couldn’t help myself - it was calling out to be a cowl! However, this cowl is pretty generously sized, so it could be considered a smaller infinity scarf. The pattern is written to include buttons, but you can choose to simply seam the two edges together if you prefer not to use the buttons.

The buttons allow for multiple ways to wear the Squishtastic Cowl. You can choose to wear it as it’s made, or you can twist it (once, twice or more) to fit however you prefer.

The pattern can be made as long or as short as you like, as it’s a 2 row repeat. You can also make it narrower or wider by adding in increments of 8.

Stitches used are foundation double crochet, front post & back post double crochet, half double crochet and chain. This is a fairly simple pattern that works up very quickly.

Materials needed are 3 skeins or 740 - 770 yard of Red Heart’s “Unforgettable” yarn (or a favorite worsted weight #4 yarn), 6 1” / 25mm buttons, tapestry needle, sewing needle, thread and scissors.
