This is my first proper make using Tunisian crochet. It’s really a stitch sampler cowl because I wanted to try out lots of stitches, but was a bit fed up with swatches so I just experimented on a slightly larger scale hoping to make something wearable! I was intrigued to try Tunisian in the round…
This cowl was one of my husband’s Christmas gifts so I have been waiting to share it for a while. When I was making the plaid cowl for my brother I fell a bit in love with this yarn. Not a surprise because I am a fan of chainette construction yarns. (Read more about…
