Airy V Stitch Cowl

This post may contain affiliate links. For more details, see my disclosure page.

Crochet cowls are my favorite thing to make. They’re so cozy, squishable, and stylish that I can’t get enough of them!

They’re even better when they use a lacy crochet stitch. You’ll find this pattern works up really fast for how large it is, and it only takes the one yarn cake to make it!

But here in Florida, it’s too warm to wear some of the adorable marshmallow-fluffy scarves and cowls I’ve seen around the web, so I decided to make a really light version.

The V stitch has been one of my favorite textures since I was just learning to crochet! In fact, the very first blanket I ever made for my son Max was a simple v-stitch blanket with a fancy border. He still uses it today!

I think you’ll love it, too, so here’s what you’ll need to try out the V Stitch in this adorable free crochet cowl pattern.
