Pocketed Hooded Cowl

Old man winter is finally here. It’s about 26 degrees here in Fredericksburg, VA. There is no better time to crochet especially when it’s freezing out, brrrrrrr! With that being said, let’s get moving on the Pocketed Hooded Cowl. Since I’m always looking for something small to make in between projects I purchased In a Weekend – Crochet Calendar 2017.

“In the spirit of full disclosure, this is an affiliate link or post, which means that I may get a commissions if you decide to purchase anything from said business. I only recommend products that I use and love myself at no additional cost to you.”I like adding my own flare and I didn’t not use the yarn recommended. I used 2.5 skeins of Mega Brushed yarn from Premier Yarns. This is a fuzzy type of worsted weight yarn and it can be troublesome when frogging, so be careful. It is still soft to the touch and versatile.

Worn up it’s a hooded cowl. I would wear it either inside or outside my coat.

Roll that hooded cowl down and now your have a cowl.

I’m thinking about adding a wooden button on the pocket bands.

Now it’s a full cowl.

As we draw near to 2017 I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

CYA in 2017 and Happy Hooking!

Check out my Projects in Motions page to see what I’m currently working on or what is next on the hook.

One Skein Skinny Scarf

categories: Free Patterns, Scarf

This will be a quick post on how to make a One Skein Skinny Scarf. I had one skein of RedHeart Boutique Unforgettable yarn that I wanted to get rid off. This is not my favorite yarn to use because it rips quickly and it’s not very forgiving when you have to rip apart. My main complaint is finding knots in the skein but other than that it’s a very soft yarn to use and I love the gradual color changes.

I made this scarf in about two hours and used every bit of this yarn.

Crochet Mojo

categories: Free Patterns, Rambling

It’s that time where I can’t find anything to crochet or find something to make that will hold my attention. I’m not even interested in yarn sales either. I hope I’m not getting sick, lol. Seems like I’ve been in this situation before, hmmmm last year around this time…..

This must be my slow down time and recharge period 🙂

While I’m in this slump I’ve crocheted some random items.

Long School Bus I work in a school by day and I thought it would be cool to make some school themed items. This Hop on the Bus ,Gus! scarf jumped right on my hook. I even found my WIP of this project from a couple of years ago when I first started out. After crocheting a few rows I quickly remembered why I abandoned it in the first place. RANT TIME – I like crocheting in short rows not long rows, hence that’s why I don’t like making blankets.

Finishing a project was my main goal and I forced myself to continue. It turned out to be quite a fun project that worked up quickly. Not to much counting stitches and color changes. You can do so much with this design from adding letters to headlights.

Half Bus What a great gift for Bus Driver Appreciation Day. It takes a real special person to drive school bus, kudos to you.

Since I was on a school theme check out the pencil scarf.

Pencil Scarf

Start on a few of these now so you will be ready when the kiddos return to school. What I love about a scarf is you can make it as long or short as you want. Go crazy and make some for your whole family.

I’ve been on a dishcloth kick and I got bored of the regular rectangle dishcloths. The Little Quaker dishcloth gives me the chuckles. I had some left over bright yellow cotton yarn that came in handy. If I make this again I will add some feet.

Baby did someone say baby. OMG this Elephant Baby Hat and Diaper cover was such a delight to make. I can’t wait to see pictures of the little one who it was made for. Don’t be afraid and mix and match patterns.

I found this cute set in a box and I do not know about the pattern. I think I freehand the hat and no clue about the scarf. I may keep this set for myself.

Purple Hat and Scarf

I’m so proud that I’m actually using yarn in my stash. I was using these colors to make a make a bag that I lost interest in a long time ago. That’s one of the perks of crocheting, you can reuse the yarn. I used my imagination…

Sparkly Hat

I freehand the cowl using the basket weave stitch and some double crochets.

This is what happens when boredom sets in. The intentions were to make a few more in bright colors but I only got around to making one. Just in case you are wondering, it’s a Bobble Bracelet

From the looks of things I don’t think I lost my crochet mojo.

What are some of the things you crochet in your down time?

Happy Hooking!
