I finished this twisted cowl last week and I know I say it each time I crochet something, but I loved making this, it really was a joy to pick up and work on. I made it especially for my lovely sister-in-law who celebrated her 50th birthday yesterday. I loved sifting through the yarn at the local yarn store, picking out the colour I thought she would like, choosing the type of yarn, and browsing online for the right pattern.
The pattern is a fan stitch and done with a 180 degree twist on a 5mm hook so it's nice and chunky. I absolutely LOVED the yarn too - a superfine Merino (Zara brand) which was incredibly warm and soft, just perfect for wearing around your neck. The photos really don't do the colour justice - it is such a gorgeous blue and suited her perfectly.
What's been on your hook lately?

Ohhhh this is SO lovely Tina! I love the delicate effect of shell patterns... I am sure its recipient loved it :)
ReplyDeleteLooks great. I can knit but not crochet, maybe I should learn one of these days!
ReplyDeleteThe cowl is absolutely gorgeous! Your sister in law is very lucky. xxoo
ReplyDeleteOh! It's posts like this one that make me wish I was craftier. This is beautiful. I also had a bit of a blog stalk and I love the little pink pixie hat you made as well! x
ReplyDeleteThank you Lisa. My daughter isn't a fan of the pixie hat though - she won't keep it on her head and now it's getting a bait small. Oh we'll, a good excuse to make another one :)
