Create Your Own Crochet Convertible Cowl and Poncho – A Stylish and Versatile Accessory

The Crochet Convertible Cowl/Poncho is the perfect versatile accessory for any wardrobe! Whether you're looking to stay cozy on a chilly day or add a stylish touch to your outfit, this piece has got you covered. You can wear it as a cowl to keep your neck warm or easily transform it into a poncho for a chic and trendy look. The beautiful crochet design adds a touch of handmade charm to any ensemble. Embrace the functionality and fashion-forward style of this must-have accessory!


Materials

I used the following materials:

  • 3mm crochet hook
  • Sport weight yarn: Turquoise, grey, and black shade (about 150 gr for the sample – size L/ 150 gr or 656 yds per skein)
  • Yarn needle
  • Scissors

Abbreviations

Note: I used chainless starting dc for every first dc of each row/round instead of ch 3. There’s another good crochet technique to use: ch 2, dc into the same stitch (counted as 1st dc). In the pattern below, you’ll see I simply state dc into 1st stitch for every first dc of each row/round, so choose your best technique 

Special Stitches Used

  • 2dc-V stitch: (2dc, ch1, 2dc) into the same stitch or space.

Pattern Information

  • This crochet convertible cowl/poncho pattern fits size L (chest size: 36 to 38 inches).
  • Skill level: Experienced
  • Gauge: 12 double crochet stitches x 5 rows approximately 2 inches (with materials indicated).
