Festive and super warm – seasonal dressing at its cosiest! Crochet the holly sprig cowl with holly leaf and berries motif to add a wintery, festive touch to any outfit.
This Christmas crochet pattern uses overlay mosaic crochet and the double layer, in the round, construction makes it seriously warm. You know those days where even a couple of minutes outside have you feeling the chill? This is cowl I’ll be reaching for then, plus you know, on any day that needs a bit of festive cheer.
And the best bit? Minimal ends to weave in! Because you leave them all inside the cowl and sew it closed you’ll only have the ends from sewing it up to weave in.

I can’t wait to take mine on some winter walks (after spending most of the July heatwave crocheting it to be ready for an autumn/winter release!). If you’ve not tried overlay mosaic crochet before I recommend having a go at the basics with my quick, free overlay mosaic coaster first, as it’s a simple way to get familiar with the technique. You can find the photo tutorial here.
Or watch the video here.
