Looking for a simple and quick crochet gift project? This adorable cowl scarf is quick to work, and makes an adorable handmade gift right in time for the holidays!
As I personally prepare for a move to a colder climate; I find myself thinking about projects to make to stay warm in the winter months. I love making hats, and scarves and gloves. Although, it honestly doesn’t get cold enough in California to wear them all the time! (Or do I just not get out often enough to wear them? This also might be the case!)
I love a good cowl scarf, and I love the length of this one, as I wanted it to wrap around twice. I think the double wrap adds a nice textured look to the accessory! It can easily be made longer, or shorter, depending on how many foundation chains you make. I highly recommend using the foundation chains as you’re making so many chains and combining them at the end, it’s easy to twist the project. The foundation chain stitch gives you a solid, well, foundation, to ensure that the first row is completely flat.
The Iris stitch itself is also so adorable. I love a little flower motif! It would complement so many pieces in my wardrobe. The Hue and Me yarn is has so many beautiful color options as well. Although you can use any bulky weight yarn, I love that the Hue and Me is a mixture of wool and acrylic. It makes projects really soft, and the yarn is easy to work with.
