NEW PATTERN!! Ballyvaughan Cowl

I'm excited to introduce you to the Ballyvaughan Cowl. 

Ballyvaughan is a small harbour village in County Clare, Ireland. Inspired by the gorgeous landscapes surrounding the village I designed this quick, easy cowl pattern. A mix of double and treble stitches creates texture, and gently  blends the colours, mimicking those that I saw in the surrounding countryside. This cowl is perfect for those 'in-between' seasons where you don't necessarily want a full scarf, but need something to protect you from those northerly winds. 

Like all my crochet patterns this is a really easy, fast, satisfying project. 

Now for the details:

Measurements:

One size: 18 cm wide, 60cm long before joining into a round. Measurements made after blocking

This garment will benefit from wet blocking to relax the stitches.

Materials:

100g Siabod Slate (05)- A, 50g Gwyngregin Damson (06)- B and 25g Idwal Lichen (09)- C  in Ada from Find Me Knitting.

6.0 mm hook.

Gauge:

Gauge is not strictly important for this project.

Construction:

This cowl is constructed in rows. The short ends are sewn together using mattress stitch to join into a circle

This pattern is available for free on my Ravelry Store until the end of March. I would love to hear if you make this project, you can let me know by commenting here, or via Instagram (@sal_strawbs).
