Pattern and Yarn Review: Scarfie and the Iris Cowl
Sorry for the hiatus. I’m really adept at keeping my Facebook page up to date, but my blog oftentimes gets forgotten. Today’s review is two fold. One a new pattern, and two a new yarn for me. Pattern: Iris Cowl (original pattern: https://www.leftinknots.com/home/crochet-iris-cowl-free-pattern This pattern was very easy to follow and works up fast. One alteration I made is that instead of the chaining the original chain, I started with a half double crochet foundation chain. If you are unfamiliar with this stitch, this is a great tutorial: https://www.mooglyblog.com/foundation-half-double-crochet/ . I find when I have to do a project that involves joining the chain to work in the round, if the yarn allows it, working the foundation stitch makes that first round and joining so much easier. If you want an easy, fast, warm cowl to whip up, this pattern is all of that. It’s also simply beautiful. Yarn: Lion Brand Scarfie ( http://www.lionbrand.com/scarfie-yarn.html )
