Lemon Balm Button Cowl, Free Crochet Pattern + Video


The Lemon Balm Button Cowl is a pretty and easy to crochet neck wrap.  Its simple construction of double crochet stitches is finished off with a scalloped edge.  A special single button is all you need to keep it together.


The cowl’s construction was inspired by my Ocean Air Scarf pattern.  If you love to button your cowl or scarf up, be sure to try these patterns too by clicking on the link:

  1. Hi Jennifer,

    You think you could possibly do a video for the Lemon Balm Button neck warmer? I would really appreciate it! Videos help me so much and yours are AWESOME!!!!

    1. Yes! So funny you asked…I just made it this morning and will be sharing soon. Thanks so much, I'm really glad you are enjoying the videos! 🙂

  2. I just finished this and love it, the scalloping in particular really makes this stand out. Am going to make complementary ones for my sister-in-law and mother-in-law for Christmas. Thanks!!

    1. Great question! I attached mine by wrapping it around my neck and seeing where I wanted it to close for a custom fit. It ended up being in the bottom left corner (where the starting chain is), but then a couple of inches up to get it snug around the neck. The last large of image of this post shows the location of the button when the cowl is open/unbuttoned. Hope that helps!

  3. Hi, I came across your pattern and I love it. Can I use Caron One pound or red heart for this pattern? DO you think it will come out ok?
