Love Is In The Air Valentine’s Cowl Pattern

Love is in the Air Valentine's Cowl Oombawka Design Crochet Free Pattern

 Supplies

  • Yarn: Sirdar Cotton Rich Aran which I purchased from Deramores [200 m / 219 yds /100 g] (60% Cotton, 40% Acrylic) MC: Shale, CC: Clamshell – this is an Aran weight yarn from the UK – you can substitute a medium weight yarn [4] for very similar gauge and results. I did use a cotton blend and it gives it lovely stitch definition but acrylic will also work 🙂

Notes

This project is worked flat, back and forth in rows and then seamed together using a whipstitch seam. I recommend you leave a bit of a yarn tail to allow you to seam each color section with the same color yarn.

After you have seamed the project using with your yarn ends, you will add one round of single crochet around the entire top and entire bottom of the cowl to give it a more finished look.

Skip all stitches not specifically mentioned in the instructions.

MC is gray, CC is pink
