Shell Stitch Cowl

Happy first day of December! Where did the year go? This is the time of year where many people get ready for gift giving. If you are like me, I have the thought in my mind to get started on gifts and before I know it December 1st is already here! This month we will focus on gifts that can be made in a day. These are great for giving to family members, co-workers, neighbors, and teachers. (the list could go on and on!)

Here we go a skein, fresh off the hook:

                                                 The Shell Stitch Cowl

A cowl makes is a great alternative to a scarf. The great thing about a cowl is that there are no ends to mess with. Just slip it over your head and go, no need to worry about making a even knot or what to do with the loose ends.

This cowl may look complicated but it is made using basic crochet stitches. The pattern uses sc and dc stitches and the knit look edging is done by working a few rows of shallow single crochet stitches. 

I hope you enjoy the first Make in a day pattern!

Have a hooky day! Lynne
