The Lenape Cowl

Share this pattern!

The Lenape Cowl is a soft and comfy cowl pattern that would be a great addition to your wardrobe. This cowl pattern is part of a set. You can view the matching Lenape Beanie here.

Growing up I never liked wearing anything around my neck! Nothing! It was so uncomfortable for me to wear a turtleneck, cowl, or even a scarf. It felt so restricting. Wow, have things changed! lol! I am a person who is cold ALL THE TIME! My husband jokes about how I wear a scarf inside all day because I can never get warm. I do what I gotta do! Right?

My Lenape Cowl is super easy to make. If you can crochet a rectangle, you can make this cowl! It is crocheted using the Twin Cluster stitch. First, you will create the rectangle, and then you will sew up the short sides to form a circle. It’s that easy!

The Lenape Cowl is crocheted using one of my favorite yarns too! Lion Brand Heartland has such a gorgeous drape, and if you have not noticed, they have added new colors as well! Below is a tutorial for the Twin Cluster stitch followed by the pattern for the  cowl!
