Dalton Cowl Crochet Pattern
The Dalton Cowl: A Cosy, Herringbone – Inspired Design for Autumn
The Dalton Cowl is one of my favourite designs, combining the warmth of an aran-weight yarn with the beauty of the herringbone half treble crochet stitch. This cosy cowl has quickly become a staple in my wardrobe and I’m so excited to share the story behind its creation. If you’re looking for a functional yet stylish piece to keep you warm during chilly months, this cowl is the perfect project!
I was inspired to create the Dalton Cowl after a visit to a local village, Dalton Piercy. This village has a quiet beauty that’s easy to fall in love with. I wanted to capture that rustic charm in a design—something that felt both practical and elegant, yet rooted in the simplicity of country living.
The earthy tones of the village’s stone walls, combined with the calming hues of the surrounding countryside, led me to choose warm spice-coloured yarns for this cowl. The herringbone stitch reminded me of the natural textures I saw while walking through the village—rough, yet comforting.
When designing the Dalton Cowl, I knew I wanted to incorporate a stitch that would be both visually striking and functional. The herringbone half treble crochet stitch is not only beautiful but also dense enough to provide warmth without feeling bulky. It was important to me that the cowl looked stylish whether it was worn with a casual coat or something more elegant, and the herringbone stitch achieves that balance perfectly.
The Dalton Cowl is made using aran-weight yarn, which gives it a soft, plush texture that’s perfect for those cold days. I chose a warm, spice colour to reflect the changing seasons, but this cowl looks stunning in any colour palette you prefer.
The pattern features:
- Herringbone half treble crochet for a textured, cosy feel
- Aran-weight yarn for warmth without bulk
- A quick-to-make design perfect for crochet beginners or more experienced crocheters alike

I designed the Dalton Cowl to be both practical and fashionable. Its deep, textured stitches make it a statement piece, while the simple construction ensures it’s easy to wear and pair with a variety of outfits.
