I found this fabulously simple and quick crochet cowl pattern on Ravelry. I am only a novice crochet-er really, so simple is super for me.
I made this one as a Christmas gift, and it took an hour and a half!
This morning I decided to make myself one, out of some mystery bulky yarn I had stashed. I used less yarn for mine, as I like close-fitting cowls, and I also decided to make some matching fingerless mittens!
Cowl-inspired Mittens!
So I used the basis of the pattern, and chained 17 stitches. Then I sc into the second stitch from hook, and each chain stitch. Then I worked each row as ch1, sc in the back loop of each stitch for 15 rows. Then join the foundation edge together with the last row crocheted, by slip-stitching them together for 5 stitches, sl-st into the next two foundation ridges alone missing out two of the chains from the row last worked (this makes a thumb hole) and then sl-st the edges together to the end. sew in ends and voila, a mitten!
