Honey Cowl the 3rd


There is something quite therapeutic about this pattern and yes, I’m in love with it.  (Free on the Madelinetosh site or on Ravelry) It continues to captivate and hold my attention. Even though I’ve completed three versions of this project, I will probably make another.  This particular incarnation is intended for my dear mothers birthday.  She recently moved to Northern California, where it can get a bit chilly during the winter. I thought she might like to have a Honey Cowl of her very own to snuggle in. I used about 2-1/2 skeins of Madelinetosh worsted in the color way Isadora. This yarn is so soft, squishy and warm! The slipstitch honeycomb style stitch pattern is hypnotic and really easy to remember for great TV viewing-type knitting.
Hope mama likes her gift this year…

  4. Great cowl and I love the color. My daughter made one of those for a friend about a year ago. She enjoyed knitting it too.
