The Moss Boss Cowl Crochet Pattern uses one of my favorite classic stitches, the moss stitch! I just love the texture it creates and how quick & easy it is. When paired with this light green color, I had to go with Moss Boss for the name!

Thanks for sharing this pattern, Breann. I love the moss stitch. Glad that you seamed up the cowl as a draw back for me is that triangle scarves don’t “stay put” like cowls and so I will be crocheting this pattern and be glad that it will “stay put”. So many color choices to choose from. Thanks again:)
Yay! Thank you so much!!
DO you have a Youtube video for this pattern? I purchased the pattern on raverly.
No I don’t 🙂
Lovely pattern. I have started one with a LB yarn! I was wondering if you have any info on how wide the triangle portion should be before we begin the part 2/cowl. Thanks!
Hi. Hoping my sizing is all okay. I’m now on Row 5 of Part 2/cowl. In row 5 it says “(sc, ch 1, sc) all in next* repeat from * to *”. Is the “next” in reference to the chain 1 space? Thanks again for sharing your lovely pattern.
Please ignore my messages. Sorry
Ok 🙂 Let me know if you have any more questions!
Hi, Thanks! I do have another question ;). In row 5 – “all in the next” means into the next ch1 space, correct? Then, row 5/Row 6 – it is “ch 1, skip 1 stitch, sc in ch 1 space” – What about the sc, sc repeat? That is, in Row 5 there is the “sc in ch 1 space) repeat 5 times, (sc, ch 1, sc) all in next” , so there is a “chain 1, sc, sc, ch1 sc…” in Row 5. When we get to row 6, do we place a “sc” somewhere in between the “sc sc” or row 5? I hope this makes sense.
Or have I misunderstood the instructions in row 5?
Also, Happy Holidays!
Yes, the (sc, ch 1, sc) is in the next ch 1 space. After the (sc, ch 1, sc), you’ll repeat from the first * and start with the next ch 1 🙂
I have the same question as below….is there no chain1 space between the SC SC?
Because, otherwise the extra SC is simply skipped on the next row…..so, no gain in stitch count?
Hi! There is a ch-1 between all the sc 🙂
