Say hello to my Salt & Pepper Triangle Cowl, my new favorite cozy companion for chilly days.
I designed it with a soft, textured stitch that drapes beautifully around the neck, keeping you warm without feeling bulky.
Its triangle shape gives it a modern twist, and it pairs perfectly with the matching hat and gloves if you want a full winter set .
It’s simple enough for a relaxing crochet session, but stylish enough that you’ll want to wear it everywhere.

What Makes the Salt & Pepper Cowl Special
The Salt & Pepper Triangle Cowl has quickly become one of those pieces I reach for without even thinking.
I love how the triangle shape drapes so naturally, giving that effortless, cozy look while still keeping the neck warm, almost like wearing a soft little hug on chilly days.
The textured stitch adds just the right amount of interest without being too busy, and it works beautifully with both simple outfits and layered winter looks.
It’s also part of a small matching collection I’ve been really excited about, including a coordinating hat and gloves, so if you enjoy a polished, put-together set, this cowl fits right in.

Questions You Might Have About the Salt & Pepper Cowl
Can I wear this cowl indoors without feeling too warm?
Yes! The triangle shape helps it sit comfortably without trapping too much heat, and the ribbed neck keeps things cozy without being tight.
Is the stitch pattern scratchy or heavy?
Not at all. The texture looks chunky, but it feels soft and flexible when worn. It drapes gently, especially at the point of the triangle.
Does it work well as a gift?
Absolutely. It looks stylish on so many people, and the neutral “salt and pepper” look makes it easy to pair with different outfits.
Can I make a matching set?
Yes you can! This cowl is part of a small winter collection that also includes a hat and gloves if you love coordinating accessories.

Yes, you’re welcome to sell the finished items you crochet from this pattern. All I ask is that you give design credit when you do.
