Cowl

[purplecat]

A cowl appears to be scarf with its ends stitched together. I'm not sure a cowl is as useful as a scarf, but I liked the look of the pattern so I made it anyway.





I have a horrible feeling that crochet leads inevitably to a large collection of shawls and scarfs of various descriptions.

Cowls have a big advantage over scarves that they never fall off or trail in the mud. On the other hand they leave a chilly hole right in the middle of your throat. I am currently knitting a circular 'ruff' to solve this problem.

Exactly, I think the chilly hole is my problem. Especially as my commute to work involves a cycle ride, so the hood aspects are useless (because of the cycle helmet), while the keeping my throat warm is very useful.

I bought the pattern for this http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/dragonscale-collar at a yarn event - looking forward to hooking it as it solves the chilly chest problem (and looks good. I already have the matching mittens. Happy to share!

If you don't mind sharing, that would be great, it looks like a fun pattern. Do you want an email address?
