Soft Link Cowl

The Linked Series continues with a piece that’s equal parts simple and striking, the Soft Link Cowl.

Designed to coordinate beautifully with the Cozy Link Beanie, this cowl carries the same smooth texture and clean finish that makes the linked double crochet stitch so special. The result is a fabric that feels cohesive, soft, and comfortably warm without being heavy. If you loved the beanie, you’ll love how this stitch translates into a neck layer that drapes effortlessly and feels incredible to wear.

The Soft Link Cowl was created with simplicity and wearability in mind. It’s approachable for confident beginners and relaxing for seasoned crocheters. It’s the kind of project you can make more than once for gifts, markets, or your own winter wardrobe.

One of my favorite things about the Soft Link Cowl is how versatile it is when it comes to color.

In solid yarns, the texture takes center stage. The linked stitches create subtle vertical lines that feel modern and polished. Neutrals look elevated, and bold shades make the stitch definition stand out beautifully.

In variegated yarns, this pattern truly shines. Because the stitch fabric is smooth and uninterrupted, color transitions flow seamlessly across the surface. There’s no distracting open space, just blended color and soft texture working together. It’s a wonderful way to showcase hand-dyed skeins or that special yarn you’ve been saving.

As the second pattern in the Linked Series, it pairs perfectly with the Cozy Link Beanie, creating a coordinated set that feels thoughtful and modern.

Will the linked double crochet stitch will be your new favorite?

Have a hooky day! Lynne

Cozy Linked Beanie

There’s something special about a stitch that feels good from the very first row. Smooth, flexible, and beautifully connected, the linked double crochet has quickly become one of my favorite stitches and it is the heart of a brand new pattern collection: The Linked Series.

The Linked Series is all about comfort, ease, and everyday makes. Each pattern in the series uses the linked double crochet stitch to create fabric that’s soft, cohesive, and free of those spaces you often get with traditional double crochet. The result? Projects that drape beautifully, feel cozy, and look polished without being complicated.

Here we go a skein fresh off the hook:

This first pattern, the Cozy Link Beanie is a simple, wearable design that really lets the stitch shine. This beanie is warm without being bulky, stretchy or losing its shape, and comfortable enough for everyday wear.

Designed with ease in mind, the Cozy Link Beanie is approachable for confident beginners but still satisfying for experienced crocheters who appreciate clean lines and great texture. It’s the kind of project you’ll want to make more than once, perfect for gifting, selling, or keeping one in every color.

If you love modern crochet with a focus on comfort and thoughtful design, this series is for you. Stay tuned for the next pattern in the Linked Series and happy stitching
