Acicularis Cowl

Hello Lovelies!!!

I am so excited to show you what I have been working on the last little while. It has been really difficult to keep it a secret and I have wanted to share photos with you all so badly.

I was fortunate enough to be a part of Furls Crochet and Crochet Foundry’s 2022 Blog Hop. I really wanted this project to be super special and include elements that scream A Knotty Habit Designs. I think I pulled it off with lots of colour and oh so stunning texture! I am in love with the sheen of Furls Fibrearts Wander yarn. It’s so soft and a dream to work with! If you haven’t worked with their products yet, I highly recommend them. Their odyssey hooks have really helped the soreness in my hands and have allowed me to crochet longer without pain.

Will You Make an Acicularis Cowl?

PATTERN : Acicularis Cowl

What you need:
5.5 mm crochet hook (or hook to obtain gauge).

Worsted weight (4) yarn. I used Furls Wander Yarn.

Colour A: 135 yards.

Colour B: 65 yards.

Colour C: 150 yards

Yarn needle
Measuring tape
Scissors

Gauge:

7 SC by 8 rows = 2 inch square

Stitches you will be working with:

CH: Chain

SLST: Slip Stitch
STS: Stitches
SK: Skip

Notes: Written in US terminology. All CH 1/2 do not count as a stitch. If you are having trouble matching the gauge, you may need to go up or down a hook size. Be sure not to do your CHs to tight or it will affect the size of your cowl.

Drawstring: 5.5 mm hook

Hold 2 strands of colour B together.

CH 141,

Row 1: SLST in 2^nd CH from the hook, SLST in the remaining 139 CHs. Fasten off and weave in all ends.

Row 7: CH 1, SC around, SLST to join, turn. (88 STS)

Repeat row 7 for rows 8 – 11. Fasten off, skip 40 STS and attach colour A to the next ST. This will put you seam at the back of the cowl.
