Blending crochet hobby with the look of knitted stitches, this knit-look crochet cowl was created by crafter Delia. The photo you see above was created for “scarf week.” Want to make your own?
This crochet project is made with a special stitch called a “camel stitch,” which is apparently a good one to know. Delia said it was her new favorite after making this cowl. In turn, she learned it from a crocheter we’ve written about at Blogunity before, Ami at All About Ami.
The “camel stitch” is also called the V-stitch by crocheters.
For this DIY crochet cowl, you will need:
Super Bulky Category 6 Yarn – 2 skeins or about 135 total yards
N15/10.00 mm hook
yarn needle
(For the cowl in the photo at the top, 1 and a half skeins were used.)
Stitches used: Chain, slip, half double
Delia also noted that she liked the effect of this special “camel stitch” because of the inside: it looks almost like purl stitches, she added. For her pattern, visit Delia Creates (click here).
