Yesterday I was in the mood for a really quick crochet project, one that I could start and finish in the afternoon and that looked really great at the end of it. After a delightful couple of hours browsing through my crochet books and magazines I decided to make up a pattern by the very talented Helda Panagary, which was featured in the January addition of Inside Crochet. You might remember Helda's designs from the scarf I made a while ago. This time the pattern was for a wonderful cowl...
I have to confess that I did make one change to Helda's pattern. I hope she doesn't mind? In the pattern you work with double yarn. I decided to just work with a single yarn, so that the cowl was not overly chunky. I want to be able to wear the cowl into spring: and just felt making it from double yarn, might make it a little too warm to be able to do this. I am one of those strange people who prefers to be cold rather than too warm.
The pattern was really well written and very easy to follow. I can't wait to start wearing it...
