Worked in simple stitches and crocheted through the back loops, the design forms beautiful textured ridges that give the cowl depth and visual interest. The doubled fabric construction makes it fully reversible, offering two stylish looks in one versatile accessory. It’s like getting two cowls for the effort of one.
The pattern is worked flat and then joined, with no sewing required—making it a quick and satisfying project. Using bulky Bernat Velvet yarn, you’ll need approximately 100 yards of each color to complete the cowl.
Whether you choose soft neutrals or bold contrasting shades, this reversible velvet cowl is a fast, fashionable make that’s perfect for gifting or keeping cozy all winter long.
