Below I have the pattern for you. It's a rectangular cowl that closes with snap fasteners measuring approximately 17 x 62cm / 6.7 x 24.4in but can be adjusted to any size. I worked the cowl double stranded with one ball in a rich peacocky blue (of course) and one variegated ball in beautiful shades of blues and greens. This variegated colourway was named The Curio Crafts Room; you can read here how it got my business name.

You'll find the English pattern below and the Dutch pattern here, but you can also purchase a beautifully laid out PDF pattern in one of my shops.

In my Ravelry and Etsy shops you can purchase a PDF version of this pattern

The advantages of the PDF version are:

• Clear layout in bullet point format
• Stitch Chart
• Instructions how to adjust size
• Similar graphic design as all of my other PDF patterns
• You support my work so that I can continue to publish free patterns and offer discount codes

Pattern Notes

• The cowl is worked holding 2 strands of yarn together. I used one Scheepjes Our Tribe ball in a variegated colour and one uni-colour ball. To complete a cowl in the size as shown in the photos, you only need 2 balls. The total weight of the cowl is 134g.

• Please note that you do not work any turning chains.

• It’s advisable to count your stitches at regular intervals as some stitches do not count in the total stitch count of a row and should not be worked into in the next row. These stitches are not listed in the stitch counts. Always discard them when counting your stitches.

• Even rows are always worked in back loops of stitches only.

• The bobbles are worked on WS rows but pop out on RS.

• The cowl does not need to be blocked.

• You could easily use other Scheepjes yarns for the cowl, either single or double stranded depending on the thickness of your chosen yarn. Adjust hook size accordingly. but make sure the bobbles are not too tight. Suggested Scheepjes yarn are: Stone Washed, River Washed, Softfun and Terrazzo.

Thank you to Scheepjes for providing the yarn for this project.

Yesterday I promised you a sneak peek of my new crochet design using Scheepjes Our Tribe using the colourway that carries my business name The Curio Crafts Room. So here it is! All soft and colourful and warm and cosy and bobbly and......a really quick project :) Aren't the colours fab? The very rich blue matches 'my' variegated yarn perfectly.

Can you tell what it is? Well, in this photo it isn't finished yet, but the end result is simply a little longer than what you see here. It's an ideal in-between holiday project that works up very quickly as I used the yarn double stranded, going for a deep, peacocky blue to match 'my own' variegated yarn. With a 6.5mm hook I worked beautiful, soft bobbles to drape around your neck and to keep you warm both at home and outdoors. Curious to see more? Full reveal will follow very soon!

Yarn combinations
As you can see there are so many colours in this yarn range. It would be fun to make all kinds of different yarn combinations with one variegated ball and one uni-coloured ball.
What about the gorgeous soft shades of 970 and 882? Or the reds in 971 and 877?
