I started this last night, and finished it up this morning. I just love this pattern http://thecrimsonowl.blogspot.com/2009/08/convertible-cowl-free-pattern.html . I'm not really big on scarves or hats, but I could totally wear this. I used two strands of Red Heart WW yarn held together. And the N hook as suggested. However, I chained 75 instead of 55 because I have such a big head. And I added two extra rows at the end of the project. Another row of dc and another row of hdc. It just wasn't long enough to come up and over my head. Once again, probably because I have such a big head! LOL Anyway, enjoy the photos.
With it drawn up over my head.
With it scrunched around my neck.
I love it!
aargg, i just lost my comment.

basically, i said that cowls are lovely and can really flatter the face. i just made one a couple weeks ago, it's so pretty i wanted to wear it right away. but i'll wait til it gets cold enough too!
don't you hate it when that happens?
ReplyDeletei have my cowl sitting here waiting to be worn this week. the temps are going to be below freezing and i'm working at the farm on monday. so...i will need the warmth! i'm glad i made it now. it's even better that it will be flattering to the face. lol
