Crochet Cowl

Oh boy, it took me longer to sew in all those ends than I thought it would, and I still have a couple more to do on the edge, but otherwise this project is complete. Not bad for a couple of days work and less than one ball of each colour yarn, so I have plenty left to do another.



The pattern was an old one from the Crochet with Raymond blog, here. I did 8 squares instead of 7, but I think for myself I would still rather it was looser around my neck.



My favourite colour is the Teal, so I did the edging in this. It's definitely my friend's colour, so hopefully she will like it. However, I'm now having a slight panic that she can't wear wool !?!



The edges look a little bit curled over, so I'm debating whether or not to block this?


Just thinking of another rush project for a different September birthday now, so catch you later.

Lots of Love Arwedd xx

  4. I love this scarf! Your friend is very lucky.
    Thanks again for the lovely parcel I received in the mail on Tuesday. Your handmade cards are beautiful & so well made, in fact you had me fooled as they are so professional, including their cellophane slips that I thought they were from a shop & I must admit to being a little disappointed until you told me that you had in fact made them which was what I had hoped for :) You should be selling them! Sx
