Cowl

To continue with my crochet hobby, I found a pattern for a cowl that I wanted to try.  The website for the pattern is http://jjcrochet.com/blog/crochet-cowl-pattern-free-chunky-bulky-perfect-for-winter/.  This pattern is for her long cowl, which I made two of-one for myself and one for my mom.  She also has a pattern for a shorter cowl, which I used for my sister's.  If you add all of the time together for the three cowls, it probably took around 6 hours.  I tried to add some different design in the cowls with switching the colors, for my first time I think I did ok on that.  All in all, I am pretty proud of how these turned out.  Take a look:



I used Lion Brand-Wool Ease Thick and Quick in Lemongrass
Size P (11.5) Crochet Hook

 This was my first cowl to make, and I followed the pattern completely.  I wanted a bright color for my cowl, so I decided to try the limeish green.

Size P (11.5) Crochet Hook

 This was the cowl for my mom.  The color in the picture is a little off, but it is navy blue on the outside and a lighter blue on the inside.  I followed the pattern exactly, except for the attachment part, I did not turn this one like I did for the green cowl.

  This was the cowl for my sister.  I used dark purple and grey yarn and followed the shorter cowl pattern.  I did not add the twist in this one either. 

Since my mom is heading to Germany for the holidays, I thought this would be a perfect gift for her.  Pretty, warm, and homemade.  :)
