Crochet: Cowl
This pattern was created to make the most of this yummy yarn I got from Pickle and Co Fibres. It’s a beautiful DK weight merino/nylon/silk blend, which is so soft and squishy, in the colourway Nina and I knew I had to have it the moment I saw it at Knitfest in Maleny.

Whilst browsing through my collection of scarf patterns I noticed that I really favoured the simplicity of cosy granny stripe ones. I really wanted one!
