I found this really fluffly thick wool at Rubys Haberdashery in Waverly, Pretoria. I used a 6mm hook and 2 skeins to finish this cowl for my mom. She has always detested the winter and believes that your neck and your ears need to be covered! Take a look:
Took a inconspicuous 'selfie' ;)
Aaand a close up of the flowers :) I'm feeling the purple and grey!
{Cowl Pattern}
This pattern is very easy! I unfortunately threw away the yarns information leaflet, but I'm making a yarn-stash run to rubys again soon and will post an update!
Here's what I did:
Round 1: Ch 70, ss in first ch.
Round 2: Ch4,
{skip 1 ch, dc in next ch, ch1} repeat around. Ss in 3rd ch space of beginning ch4.
Round 3: Ch4, {dc in ch1 space, ch1} repeat
around. Ss in 3rd ch space
of beginning ch4.
Round 4 and consecutive rounds: Repeat round 3 as many times as you like. With two skeins I got to 7 rounds. Finish off and embellish with flowers of your
choice. Easy!
