CROCHET ANGORA COWL PATTERN

Yes, yes, I know I have already graced the web with pictures of the cuddly angora cowl I made last post, but after sleeping on it (the idea, not the cowl) I realized that I hadn't actually followed any known pattern. So now I will deconstruct (figuratively) the cowl and share my pattern with anyone willing to put up with my vague crochet pattern notations.

What you need to know: I used a lace weight angora yarn that had been spun with a tiny thread of sparkle (very pretty! See last post for where to get your own.) The yarn I used was hand spun so it has the lovely thick-thin that makes hand-spun yarn so special, but for this pattern you should be able to use any lace to fingering weight yarn.

Ripple Wrap Cardigan I used an "E" hook and a size 15 knitting needle for the broomstick lace portion. Size up or down the hook and needle to suit your yarn or personal taste. Scarf-lace Simple Crochet Shawl Pattern Not-So-Anatomical Skull: BRAAAAIIIIINSS You need to have a working knowledge of broomstick lace so if you're not familiar take a look at the free tutorial from Stitch Diva here. Not-So-Anatomical Skull: Jeepers Creepers...Where'd You Get Those Peepers? Not-So-Anatomical Skull: Poor The Base Pattern: 1. With your chosen hook chain a multiple of four as long as you want your cowl to be high on your neck. I started with a base chain of 32, but with such a thin and drapey yarn I could have doubled that amount to 64 for a thicker and warmer cowl. As it is I probably used around 100 yds for the cowl with the 32 base chain. Add one extra chain for a turning chain. (33 ch)
