Hi Everyone!!
I’m excited to bring you all a free pattern. As you may notice from the picture, I still had an obsession with Lion Brand’s new Dotted Line yarn when making this piece. I still had 1 ball of it left and while recuperating from a recent knee injury I came up with this pattern.
I wanted something that could help ease my summer wardrobe into those Indian summer days that are for sure coming my way. Nothing too light or too warm, just a little something to wear to the office or to the movies to knock that A/C chill out when worn with a light weight sweater or just on it’s own.
If you’ve never used or heard of the Dotted Line yarn before I have an independent yarn review on my blog. I have some of the other colorways but I’m partial to the color blue can’t you tell…lol All kidding aside, this pattern can be made with any size 2 weight yarn.
Bonus, this a great pattern for beginners and will give you practice for my upcoming Promenade Shawl pattern. This cowl pattern is made with the granny stitch and it’s the same stitch used for the shawl pattern as well.
If you make this cowl, please tag me on my Instagram at joannascrochet, Ravelry or LoveCrochet. If you aren’t following me you should be. All new patterns, blog posts and everything else crochet and crafty will be on announced on there first.
