What do you think?
Or, alternatively, it can be worn short with a round-necked T-shirt like this:
I used about 60 yards of each colour of some left-over wool that I had from another project. Here are my raw materials. The pink, blue, ivory and yellow are Sublime baby cashermere merino silk in 4 ply and the purple is Sublime extra fine merino in 4 ply. They crochet into a lovely, light-weight scarf that's perfect for spring.
If you'd like to make one here's how to do it:
- Cast on and chain 150 stitches.
- Join with a slip knot to the first stitch in the chain to make a closed circle.
- For the first row: chain 4. Work a double treble (English) or a treble (US) into the next stitch to the slip stitch and into each succeeding stitch until you work your way right around the circle to the chain 4 at the beginning. Join with a slip stitch to the 4th chain of the original chain 4. Cast off.
- Cast on with a slip stitch in the next colour and repeat row 3.
- Carry on, changing colours as you complete each round until your cowl is as wide as you'd like it to be. I worked mine for 11 rows, so that it had the blue that I'd started with at each edge.
- Darn in your ends and - ta-dah!- you're done.
It really is the easiest thing to make.
All the best,
Bonny
