Two of my favorite podcasters, Crochetcakes and Crochet Luna are hosting a CAL! It is the bad boys/girls cal. #srcal2018 on instagram. They each have Ravelry groups with threads for the cal as well. I usually don’t get in on these things in time but this time I did! Yay!
So, for my part I have designed a cowl using Yarn Bee Aspyn. It is a super soft and squishy single ply, bulky weight yarn. The cowl only takes one skein! Actually less than one skein, so it is a quick make! I loved working with it! And the colors absolutely remind me of Narnia and the Telmarines with their dreaded but awesome leader Miraz. My chosen bad boy 😉 Nobody has a cooler accent than a Telmarine!
It is very simple and mainly uses double crochet stitch. (US terms) You simply cross the stitches in the same manner you cable. Don’t let the cable word frighten you, it is just two dc stitches crisscrossed 🙂 I explain below in the pattern!
