Hyacinth Cowl: A new Crochet Pattern


Reader

When I made the Hyacinth Hat and then fell in love with it, and barely took it off, I knew I wanted to make a cowl to match it. When I first starting imagining how it would look, I thought it was just going to be a bear to write up. I made my first sample and it worked up sooo easy. I was surprised at how well the linen stitch worked with the post stitches. The end result is a really beautiful cowl that looks like you spent a lifetime working on it, but in reality its a fairly quick project (for a fingering weight project) with a lot of repeating.

This is a light weight cowl perfect for that changing over weather, when it starts cold in the morning, but warms up as the day heads into the afternoon. Just like the hat the simple lines in the pattern makes it wearable for just about everyone who wants a little more warmth. For the yarn I chose Stroll Fingering yarn that you can find on Crochet.com. It is one on my favorite fingering yarns to use just because it is so soft and wearable. Below I'm providing you an affiliate link to the yarn. I get a small contribution from your shopping for the yarn.


Where to find the Pattern

You can find this pattern in all of my shops. Below you will find their links. As usual there is a sale price for the first week on Ravelry.


I'll be updating the Hyacinth Hat pattern this week. Not much is changing, just some of the phrasing to better match the cowl pattern so be on the lookout for that if it is a pattern you have already purchased.

Thanks for all your support, Julia

Some how my daughters are already back in school this week, so I guess that means its time to get some patterns out again. First up is Shibori Sock, a stranded knit sock pattern. I designed these socks for my daughter's birthday, and a reminder of the summer we had. We had a busy summer. This year I had a week long missions trip, 2 weeks of summer camp, college visits, medical appointments and time with family. It all went way too quick, and it required me to have easy projects that I could...

Say hello to Hyacinth Scarf. Close up of the Hyacinth Scarf When I first started to work on this pattern all the way back in January I had all the plans to make it have the same texture as my Hyacinth Hat. With all the bad news my mind kept wandering and I kept forgetting to add the crossover row. I thought, "well if I'm...

Reader Designs by Diligence is 14 years old this week. I can hardly believe I have been creating things for you for that long. What a joy its been from my first design appearing in Crochetvolution to now. I wanted to celebrate by offering a free knitting pattern just for this week. Restful Hat In my quest for using up the yarn I have. I decided to use up some mini skeins. I also added a lace weight mohair, and the result was the softest 2 tone hat that I have thoroughly enjoyed wearing this...
