A note for Pinterest users: I have noticed an uptick in Pinterest traffic from pins I did not create nor are they related to the content of my blog. As an avid Pinterest user myself, I understand how frustrating it is to click a pin only to find completely unrelated content on the other side. It is a Pinterest-wide problem and a bane to all bloggers. These pins are bot-created (for what reasons I cannot even fathom). I do my best to find the original sources of the pin images and post the links in the Pin comments to help you find what you are looking for, but these pins are so numerous it can be difficult to stay on top of it. Knotted Up In String is a crochet blog, so if you do happen to like crochet, feel free to stick around. I’m happy to have you!
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.
