Hawthorne mobius crochet cowl pattern inspiration

Hawthornes are one of the birth flowers for May and the inspiration behind the name for this free mobius scarf pattern. The stitch repeat used has some resemblance to the bud element of the Hawthorn and this design was originally made from a green – white ombre cake of yarn, another nod to the colour for this easy crochet mobius crochet cowl pattern.

Featured as a guest post on the Cosy Rosie UK Blog, I wanted to create something light and fun but also beginner friendly. While the yarn for this design is a finer weight than what you might be used to, the stitches used are of standard construction and the twist in this free crochet mobius cowl pattern adds a little bit of additional flair.

Mobius scarf yarn and materials

I originally designed this scarf with the idea of using a single cake of Sultan Deluxe and used the Siberian Jade which I received from a lucky bag. Luckily for me, this design worked up quicker than I anticipated and I was able to make 2 versions from a single skein, bonus. Sultan Deluxe is a 100% Cotton, 1000m fingering weight/2 yarn. It comes in 27 colours and my biggest tip for this yarn is to buy it when it is at least 40% off (this happens alot)!

For alternatives, you could use a single Twister Solid or a single 100g skein of any fingering weight yarn in a solid colour. If you prefer to use thicker weight yarns, it would also be possible to make this in a dk / 3 weight yarn of a similar amount of yardage without compromising the stitch definition /detail.

Hawthorn Crochet Cowl Pattern info & tips

Hawthorn is a free beginner mobius scarf crochet pattern. While some would say that a mobius is a more advanced technique, I think it is achievable with a little bit of practise. Also, if you are a new crocheter, then all the stitches and techniques are challenging so give it a go. Once you have created your loop, the repeating pattern is established with a mixture of standard stitches.

The slight offset to the stitch pattern in the Hawthorn mobius scarf pattern adds an additional tweak in this reversible crochet pattern.
