Blue Light is a worked-flat-and-seamed, on-the-bias, Tunisian crochet cowl, inspired by the healing blue light in the Outlander series. The Tunisian star stitch (instructions and step by step photos provided in the pattern) is used to represent a burst of light. This cowl is created with 370yds of DK weight yarn, and a 5mm Tunisian crochet hook with cable.

This pattern can be purchased separately or as part of an eBook, Tunisian Crochet COllar-shaWLS.
Cowls, a word created by combining the words collar and shawls, are so much fun to make and a quick project to create something warm and beautiful for those colder months. Covering both make-flat-and-sew and in-the-round construction, this eBook contains ten pages of instructions and photos to show how to work straight Tunisian crochet and Tunisian crochet-in-the-round, including instructions for five basic stitches, starting with a foundation row, and casting-off.
