Last month I posted a picture of a new cowl design I had made for myself. The Batik Cowl has already become a firm favourite. At the weekend it is almost permanently around my neck. Cosy, cosy, cosy.
Jewel Batik
I have at last written up the pattern and posted it for download on the LoveCrochet site. It is a simple corner-to-corner crochet design. But don’t be fooled there are a lot of ends to sew in. The Batik yarn from Stylecraft is fabulous to work with. I am a huge fan. I decided that I could create another colour combination. So the image above is my jewel colourway. Perfect for fans of pinks. purples and blues.
Corner to Corner
If you are frightened of working the corner-to-corner pattern, don’t be. There are some good tutorials available and I would recommend this tutorial on the Crochet Now Magazine site. I will be adding this cowl to my Christmas gift stash. Hopefully it will find a happy and welcome home.
