Hey everyone! Today I wanted to share a quick and easy pattern with you.

The gift giving season is almost here and I thought that the Spice Hooded Cowl would make a perfect gift for someone on your list! Or for yourself…I don’t judge. Ha! 😉

This post may contain affiliate links for products that I use and recommend. If you make a purchase through one of my links, I may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. Thank you for supporting my small business. For more information, please see my disclosure policy. 

This pattern is an easy two row repeat and the only stitches you’ll need to know are single crochet and double crochet. I crocheted the entire scarf in only a couple of hours, which makes it great for last minute gift giving as well.

I love that it’s an infinity scarf, but only one loop. No fussing around with adjusting your loops to get them to lay just right. Just throw it on and go. And when those blustery winds pick up, the cowl is long enough to pull up over your head like a hood and still keep the back of your neck fully covered. It’s my new favorite piece and I can’t wait to wear it!

I hope you enjoy the Spice Hooded Cowl pattern! If you’d like to see more winter wear patterns that I’ve designed, then be sure to check out these head wear designs, scarves, and gloves/mittens. (Each one is a link to a different group of patterns).
