I’m playing along with the Yarn Along over at Small Things this week. I am starting on Christmas presents and this is the first. I won’t say who it is for but this is such a yummy wool yarn. The colors are all washed out for some reason and tomorrow when Alex gets back I will get her to fix it but in the meantime here it is.
This is a cross between a cowl and a scarf but I am sticking with calling it a cowl. It can be worn a few different ways but for some reason I did not take those pictures. I love the leather button on it, I have been saving it for a few years and this was the perfect project to put it on.
Do you knit or crochet? Click on the link in the first paragraph and play along with Ginny from Small Things. If you don’t do either I am starting a craft-along (inspired by Ginny’s Yarn-along), more info on that tomorrow.
Right now my crochet basket is full of projects and if you want to do the cowl, shoot me an email and I will send you my pattern (er…right now it is just scribble scrabble but I will type it up and get it to you : )

so pretty, i love the color.
Leah, Thank you so much. It is my own pattern, I am typing it up for anyone who wants to make one. If you would like it just send me an email.
That is so lovely! Where is the pattern from?
austerityandprosperity, you can email me and I will send you the pattern. You cn find my email address at the top of my blog.
Annie, I do sell on Etsy but I have not had it active at all. You can find my store at etsy called CrunchyCrochet. I need to get some patterns and items in my store but you can look through sold items to see what I have done in the past : ) Thank you for the nice words.
I don't knit or crochet but I LOVE it! You don't by any chance sell anything like these on Etsy?
Very nice!
Beautiful! I made a very similar one for my mom 3 years ago before I learned to knit. I don't think I blogged about it though because she's my most avid reader. 🙂 I love your colors and the contrast of the button. So lovely!
That is a gorgeous cowl, I love it!
Beautiful. Great start on the Christmas gifts – your lucky recipient will be both warm and stylish this winter.Enjoy
Ooh…very chic! I have yet to knit a cowl, and I ought to, as I like the way they look!
It's beautiful. I love the texture and that button is a perfect touch 🙂
I love this, and I would love to make this for a few people. Where can I get the pattern?Many thanks, Kara
I do a bit of crocheting but nothing much to talk about. I have no idea how follow patterns. I would love to one day make a ripple blanket. Crocheting seems to me something I could just drop in a basket if I am called away to do something, so I really has been on my mind for years to take up again!
love it! Simple and elegant
