Baseball diamonds are this girl’s best friend. Knit diamond lace (baseball diamonds) and double yarn overs (baseballs) for an elegant cowl to wear anytime. The beads add sparkle, but if beads are not your thing, take them out of the line-up and knit without them.

Bochy sCowl is named for beloved San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy. He’s often seen scowling during games when he doesn’t agree with a call so this is a fun play on words. This cowl celebrates Stitch N’ Pitch events held by Major League Baseball and Minor League Baseball in conjunction with The National Needlearts Association (TNNA). During a baseball game, fans work on their needlearts projects while cheering on their favorite team. One of TNNA’s goals is to “encourage passion and education of the needlearts among the public”.

Swatch yarn and extra yarn are included in the yarn requirement.

Materials (partial list - see pattern for complete list):
140 size 5 seed beads
1.0mm-1.15mm steel crochet hook for placing beads
