Crochet Cowl is finished

With a little concentration ... I managed to finish the cowl.



This picture is a bit shoddy, but it was taken on my phone :)  I'll have to wait until the weekend to take some daylight shots properly & then I'll be able to list it on Walnut Baby.

Crochet Cowl

My next creation is a crochet cowl. I haven't tried one of these before so its a bit trial and error to get the size right.

I want it to have an interesting texture so I am using Trinity stitch.

I am using Sirdar Softie super chunky yarn & getting the right hook size has been a challenge, I started with an 8mm but have decided to move up to a 12mm hook as it was coming out a bit stiff & tight.

I am planning to fasten the cowl with a couple or maybe 3 very large buttons.
