I thought moving a bit farther north would give me a winter wonderland blanketed in snow. I guess we didn’t move up far enough. The weather has been quite mild, which is okay when I’m driving, but not okay when I want to snuggle under a pile of blankets with a book and hot chocolate.
Which brings me to this cowl. Originally, it didn’t begin as a cowl. In fact, it has a very long history, most of which involves languishing in storage. I began this project sometime after learning to crochet, nearly fourteen years ago. I wanted to make a little shrug or bolero – whichever name they go by these days – for a particular outfit. I don’t even remember what it was supposed to go with, not that I still have any of my clothes from high school. All I know is that, true to form, it didn’t get finished and found its way into my WIP pile.
Cut to this last year and I finally pulled all my old projects out of storage. Most of them ended up being frogged. My skills have come quite a ways since I first learned. But this one stuck out. I love the yarn I had picked out, and the stitch, though simple, is quite pretty. And in white, it looks like something from a winter wonderland. And so I decided to rework the project into a cowl.
So, without further ado, the Winter Wonderland Cowl Pattern.
