The Dunes Scarf was one of my favorite early crochet patterns. This year, I decided to update the pattern to include a video tutorial and a second option – a thicker, wider cowl. Now when you purchase either pattern, you’ll get both designs! The dunes cowl and scarf are both super easy once you master the dunes fold – it’s almost entirely made of double crochet stitches!

About the Dunes Cowl
The Dunes Cowl is an update and expansion of my original Dunes Scarf pattern. This cowl features a unique fold, though it’s worked almost exclusively in double crochet! It’s a quick, fun project. With this update, I’ve added a video tutorial showing how to do the Dunes fold and how to join the cowl to form a ring. I hope you love it as much as I do! Plus, now you’ll get both the scarf and the cowl pattern with purchase.
Materials
- For Cowl – 2 balls WeCrochet City Tweed Aran (I used color Orca!)
- For Scarf – my original used Regia Highland Tweed yarn in color Sand, but this has since been discontinued. After loving the City Tweed Aran (seriously, it’s my favorite WeCrochet yarn that I’ve tried so far – by far!), I would have no hesitation to make this scarf in the City Tweed DK. It would take 3 balls of this yarn to make a similar scarf to the original. You could use any DK weight yarn you like. Actually, this pattern is very flexible with yarn choices!
- Crochet hook – size I for Cowl, size G for Scarf – I love these Odyssey hooks from Furls Crochet!
Sizing
The Thin Scarf option measures approximately 3″ wide and 6′ long, with gauge of 8.5rows and 20sts = 4″ in double crochet.
The cowl is approximately 9″ tall and 24″ around, with gauge of 7 rows and 12 sts in 4″ in double crochet.

Makes a Great Gift!
This project is so fun and easy to make once you master the Dunes fold (and I’m sure you can – it’s not as hard as you might think!). It makes a great gift – I whipped up the cowl in one night!
