Bobblicity Cowl in Our Tribe Ravelry Etsy

Below I have the pattern for you. The Crinkle Wrinkle Cowl is worked in the round and measures approx. 21cm in height and the circumference is approx. 78cm without the fold at the front. With the fold, it's approx. 21cm in height and the circumference at the top is approx. 50cm (not stretched/blocking not required). But it can be adjusted to any size. 

The fold is of course the special feature and makes it a unique accessory. This combined with the alpine stitch pattern makes for a beautifully textured and tactile cowl that'll keep you snug and warm.

You'll find the English pattern below and the Dutch pattern here, but you can also purchase a beautifully laid out PDF pattern in 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
• Chart for the stitch pattern
• Close-up photos of the stitch pattern and how to make the fold
• 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 approximately 134g.

• The cowl is worked with a 6.5mm hook and the edging with a 6mm hook.

• It’s advisable to count the stitches in the sc rounds regularly to make sure you haven’t forgotten any stitches.

• The cowl does not need to be blocked.

• You could easily use other Scheepjes yarns for the Crinkle Cowl, either single or double stranded depending on the thickness of your chosen yarn. Adjust hook size accordingly but make sure the fabric doesn’t become too tight. Suggested Scheepjes yarn are: Stone Washed XL, River Washed XL, Softfun and Terrazzo.

• Suggested colour combinations: 973 It’s All in A Nutshell + 880 Silver Birch / 977 A Spoonful of Yarn 2x / 971 Jellina Creations + 877 Raspberry Radiance / 981 Marie 2 + 982 Trust and finally 974 The Curio Crafts Room + 884 Iris Garden (I used this combination for my previous cowl design The Bobblicity Cowl – also available on Etsy and Ravelry.

Change to 6mm hook

If you decided to use a different colour, join with new colour (double stranded) in back loop of final stitch made on previous round. 

The edging is worked in a spiral. Continuing on from final round, work 1sc BLo in each sc around without closing round. Rep once more (or 4 more times as I did on the grey/multi coloured) all around. Close with an invisible join or your preferred joining method. Fasten off.
Edging at bottom of cowl

With 6mm hook, join yarn in joining stitch where you closed the foundation chain into a ring. Work 1sc in each bottom of ch all around. The edging is worked in a spiral, so continuing on from sc round, work 1sc BLo in each sc around without closing round. Rep once more all around. Close with an invisible join or your preferred joining method.

Fasten off and weave in all ends.

How to work the fold

Lay cowl flat. Where you joined the cowl in the round is centre back of cowl.

Mark centre front with a pin. Then measure 4.5cm to the left and right of centre pin and also mark with pins. Do this once more, measuring 4.5cm to the left and right of both these pins.

Fold cowl so that outer two pins align with centre pin and middle two pins are now at outer edges of fold. Secure fold with pins. You now have 3 layers held together. 

Try cowl on to see if it’s a good fit. You may want to wear a coat to see how the cowl fits then. If necessary, adjust the fold according to neck size and preference.

With double stranded yarn, whip stitch through these 3 layers picking up the loops of the final round of the edging.

Whirl and Whirlette yarn

Both yarns are a blend of 60% cotton and 40% acrylic, which makes for lightweight and breathable shawls, or any wearables really. Whirl is a gradient yarn with a very generous twist so that it works up really quickly and it helps prevent splitting. Each colour change (and there are many, which I love because it makes the gradient so subtle) is carefully tied to ensure the knot can be discretely hidden within your stitches. So don’t worry if you come across quite a few ”knots”, or rather “fluffy bits”, because that means one colour thread is replaced by another colour thread that needs to be worked into the yarn. The Whirlette yarn comes in single colours, matching the Whirl shades. Below you can see all yarns available.

 

The shade cards shows all the 54 Whirl yarn cakes and 44 Whirlettes available.

Finally!! After 5 years I've finally published a new Peacock Feather design. 5 years....I can't believe it has been that long. This does not mean that I haven't designed any peacock-inspired motifs in those years. Actually, I've designed very many, more than ever before, but somehow I didn't get to the publication part :) So my goal for this year is to publish a new design say every 6 weeks. I'm so happy with all the new stylized motifs I've come up with that it would be a shame not to share them with you.
And all my crochet patterns are available in ENGLISH (US + UK) and in DUTCH.

My Ravelry Shop

My Etsy Shop

So here's the first one: The Chandraki Peacock Feather. It's a very stylized feather and perhaps you may not even recognize it as a peacock feather at first. That doesn't matter at all as it's a beautiful motif regardless (obviously I think so :) and you can of course use your own favourite colours to personalize it according to your own style. As always, I used Scheepjes Catona yarn, which is perfect for these kinds of motifs as it has a beautiful sheen and creates a beautiful firm fabric. At the bottom of this post you'll find links to (online) shops that sell Catona yarn.

It's also a very versatile motif as you can use it to make different kind of items. I'll show you in the photos.

First there's the (note)book wrap. I think it's a lovely decorative item, which would make a wonderful gift.

From book wrap to bookmark is a small step, so here's my version.

And then of course just the single feather. If you make a few of them, you could lay them out around a tea light or candle to create a special and soothing spot in your living room, bedroom or on a garden table.
