Create this beautiful crochet ribbon cowl!
I love this design because there are endless possibilities with ribbon and color choices! This is a easy and fun pattern to make with any theme in mind.
The pattern uses double crochet stitches and a series of skipped stitches to create a hole pattern for lacing up the ribbon. Such a fun design, I hope you enjoy the pattern as much as I did creating it!
The cowl measures approx. 7.5″ wide and 30″ long before folding.

Adding Ribbon
Cut your 7/8″ ribbon 62″ long. Stick each end through the top two holes (in row 16) so either end of the ribbon comes out the holes from the back to the front. Make sure your ribbon is even before lacing it.
With the print side facing out, put both ends into the next hole (the single hole). Cross the ribbon in the back and pull it through either side of the next holes with the print side out. Continue this pattern all the way down, much like lacing shoes.
After the last hole pull the ribbon up on either side through the dc’s (leaving 5 dc’s between ribbon). Tie the ribbon in a bow and trim ends.

Here’s a video to help you with how to lace the ribbon:
Finishing:
Fold the plain side down then the ribbon side over on top of it so it forms a point at the front.
Pick up a st through both loops (where there is overlap) and sc around the bottom. Sl st in first st and sc in the back loops only around the entire bottom. Sl st in first st and fasten off, weave in ends. Fold over the collar and your finished!
Pin it for later!
This is awesome. Do I put a button on to fasten?
Thank you 🙂 You can do that if you would like. I sc’d the cowl together after I added the ribbon but if you would like to keep it open you can add buttons (button on inside if you don’t want it to be seen and take away from the ribbon)
Hello! I am finishing this up and wanted clarification on connecting the pieces..
Where it says to: Pick up a st through both loops (where there is overlap) and sc around the bottom.– is this the entire bottom, like full circle or just where the two overlapping pieces are??
Sl st in first st and sc in the back loops only around the entire bottom. Sl st in first st and fasten off,— is this the entire bottom, full circle???
Yes it is a full circle around, connecting the areas where it overlaps as you go.
Thank you so much!!
I am at the joining stage. Can you show a picture of the underside
Of the cowl on how it should look where it
Is joined?? I am wondering at which corner do you start joining; on the back top corner or the front bottom corner under the bow? Thank you so much for the pattern!
I started mine on the side after I folded it and worked my way around. You can start anywhere if you wish to finish it off then pick up a stitch on the corner you can do that too.
