A couple of weeks ago I took a trip to Oregon to visit a very good friend of mine. It gets a bit colder there than it does here, so I used that as a perfect excuse to do some crocheting. I made a Cloudburst Shawl for my friend and a Chunky Stripe Hat with a pom pom for her husband. For myself, I was trying to pack for a weekend in just a backpack so I wanted a warm accessory that could get with every outfit. My raincoat is red, so it was very obvious to me to crochet a blue cowl.
I had been eyeing the Triple Luxe Cowl pattern for awhile. What had stopped me from making it sooner was that bulky yarn meant for a very warm cowl. I live in Northern California, and there would probably only a month or two in the winter when it'd be cold enough to wear it. So of course I jumped on an excuse to make it.
I used Lion's Pride Woolspun in Navy Heather to make the cowl. As you remember from my Chunky Stripe Hat, I feel in love with this yarn. It has a nice softness and warmth and is easy to work. The cowl pattern was easy as well. It didn't take much concentration so I could crochet in front of the tv.
I love how this cowl drapes while wearing it. The stitch pattern makes it have a different look on the front and back sides, and I like them both. It kept me warm and cozy too.
Have you made this pattern yet? What did you think? Let me know in the comments!
Happy Crocheting!
Very well done! Just fell upon your website. Very creative and modern ideas, good job :).
