The Samhain Web Cowl brings together warmth, texture, and a little seasonal magic. Inspired by the old Scottish festival of Samhain, when the harvest ended and the veil between worlds was said to grow thin, this crochet design combines a cozy super-bulky cowl with an open, web-like lace collar.
The body works up quickly in a textured combination of double crochet, crossed double crochet, and back-loop-only half double crochet. A contrasting worsted-weight edging transforms the neckline into a dramatic spiderweb collar, creating a bold accessory for crisp autumn days, Halloween events, Samhain celebrations, and anyone drawn to gothic or folklore-inspired style.
The pattern is written in US terms and includes materials, gauge, abbreviations, sizing notes, and complete row-by-row instructions. The cowl is designed as one size fits most, with adjustment guidance: make the body in multiples of 2 and the web neckline in multiples of 5.
Format: Digital PDF download
Skill level: Confident beginner to intermediate
Terms: US crochet terminology
Hooks: 9 mm and 5.5 mm
Yarn weights: Super bulky #6 for the cowl body; worsted weight for the web collar
