A Knit 'Stripe' Cowl

I'm practicing my knitting

and have wanted to knit a cowl

for a very long time.

I love the look of knit rib

so when I found this pattern

I knew I had to use the

Moda Very Monkey yarn I bought

to make one for myself.

I learnt a lot while making this cowl, like

continental knitting is a lot faster when you get the hang of it

and out of fear for binding off too tightly, I bound off too loosely

(as you can see at the base of the cowl, ooopsy).

When I wear it (photo on the way?!)

the loose bind off actually looks really good as 

it flares around my collar bones.

Project Updates

A few projects currently in the works:

A Knight Beanie

A Knit Cowl (learning to knit still)

A Baby Doll + Accessories

This little bub now has some arms

Colour Blocked Puff Stitch Cowl

I recently finished this Puff Stitch Cowl but only just

had the chance to take some photos

(Bad photos as from mobile phone)

I used 110-120g of Moda Vera 12 ply in a seafoam green and soft grey

and a 6mm crochet hook

This cowl measures 27 inches around, with the grey section measuring 5 inches

It is 9 inches high and can be folded over on itself to make it shorter

It's really really warm too!

My Ravelry project page has the 

simple pattern instructions :)

Aubergine Cowl

Here is my aubergine cowl.

23 rows of back loop only single crochet's.

It's too warm to wear it now, but it will so cosy next winter.

Here is my Ravelry Project Page.

Knit Cowl

My first knitted cowl

Knit with 15mm circular knitting needles & Moda Vera Shiver in Avocado

I cast on 70 stitches, and knitted it about 20cm wide.

 It's long enough to be doubled over so it's nice and cosy.
