Stashbuster: Granny Cowl Ta-dah!

PATTERN: Improvised
YARN: King Cole Merino Blend DK, 100% wool (3 x 50g) 
HOOK: 4mm

A snug-fitting cowl in nice bright colours was required to wear with my raincoat - my other cowls are all too big to fit in the narrow neck space, especially when the hood is up. This little stashbusting project was the perfect solution and was hooked up in just a few hours.

Beginning with a chain of 80 I joined it to work one-piece (I didn't want to sew it up) although I actually went back and forth across the rows after slip stitching the last stitch of each row into the first, this made it look neater at the colour changes. The 4mm hook made for a nice dense fabric that keeps it's shape well and for this reason there are no chain spaces beween the groups of trebles. I like it so much I might make another one in different colours. I think I know a little lady who might like one too!

  1. I love it. The gauge almost makes it look like some kind of wavy pattern instead of granny stripes. Great colours too :)

  2. Now that looks cozy! Great idea for using up stash. I might have a rummage in my hoard and see if I've got anything that would work for this idea, because it looks lovely.
