As the cold season approaches, we’re transitioning from jacket weather to heavy-duty winter wear. I think a cowl is an essential piece of winter gear for the dashing gentleman, and I love them even more when they’re handmade. So, here’s a collection of mens cowl crochet patterns perfect for the modern man in your life!

A cowl is a great alternative to a standard mens crochet scarf pattern, and it’s incredibly practical for a guy who doesn’t want a long scarf in his way. Crocheting for men can be difficult. It doesn’t have to be that way with these mens crochet cowl patterns!
