New Pattern! Chevron Waffle Cowl (Crochet)

I have an ongoing fascination with increasing and decreasing waffle stitch in pattern. First, I worked on increasing, with the Waffle Stitch Hat and the Round Waffle Stitch Baby Blanket. Then I worked on decreasing in waffle stitch with the Bottoms Up Waffle Stitch Hat. Having worked those out, it is now time to explore waffle stitch chevrons!

This waffle stitch cowl is worked flat, as a single chevron and then seamed. The increases and decreases of the chevron are worked in pattern. Since the increases in this pattern work a little differently than the increases I've done in the past, they create a lovely line running through the center of the cowl. The version of waffle stitch I use is not reversible, but both sides are attractive, and the seam matches the rest of the fabric pretty well.

The cowl itself is made in fingering weight yarn and a size G (4.25 mm) hook, which, when combined with the post stitches of waffle stitch, makes for a wonderful heft and drape to the fabric. While the pattern calls for 550 yards of yarn and makes a cowl that is about two feet around, you can easily make it longer and more luxurious if you have the extra yardage.
