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.

I normally more need protection for my ears than my face, and find that cowls can be settled to do that better.

It has begun.

That's a lovely lamp in the background. Does it have a proper doily under it?

That's what happened to me! I eventually ended up giving many of them away to people the scarf felt 'right' for.

(that looks lovely!)

That's lovely!

I like cowls. And have an impossibly huge collection of scarves and shawls but keep buying more. Funnily enough, when I knitted, I never made any, but am now getting the urge to try. And I have bought a couple of crochet hooks....

That is very you.

That's lovely!

I used to have a cowl I wore a lot. It was excellent because you could wear it as either a hood or a scarf, and also it never fell off and got lost like a scarf. Or maybe that's just me.

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.

I love the Dr Who colours of it! Not sure I would have a use for a cowl, though I wore a snood a lot when I was younger :)
