The Waiting Season Cowl Pattern


It’s the end of September and the leaves have begun to show their glorious autumnal colors. Nature is preparing to slow down and there is anticipation in the air. It’s a season to pause, to wait. We expect and linger to admire the glorious colors of autumnal leaves. We know that pretty soon the trees will be bare and Nature will rest for a few months. As a knitter/crocheter I wait for this season to start knitting with wool yarn again. It’s a season of fiber festivals and warm beverages. A season to curl up with our knitting/crochet projects and dream of all the new things to make.

The Waiting Season Cowl is a rectangular scarf crocheted using the alternate crochet moss stitch like the Silky Long Scarf. The bind off edge is then joined to the side of the rectangular scarf to make the cowl. Stitches are picked up at the collar edge to knit a few rounds of 1×1 ribbing. The bottom edge of the cowl is finished with a round of the crochet moss. After that, a round of crochet shell stitch is added to complete the bottom edge of the cowl. The fingering weight budget friendly yarn is 100% superwash merino wool. This hand dyed tonal yarn reflects the vibrant autumnal colors. The Waiting Season Cowl was such an enjoyable project to crochet and knit.

The Comfy Poncho Pattern

Comfy Poncho


The Comfy Poncho is knit using a cotton and nylon blend yarn making it light, drapey and comfortable to wear for those cool summer evenings, overly air conditioned places or rainy days. This poncho is child size but can easily be customized to smaller or larger sizes by increasing or decreasing the number of cast-on stitches and also by increasing or decreasing the length of the knitted pieces.

For the Comfy Poncho pattern, two identical pieces are knit flat using the seed stich pattern. These 2 knitted pieces are then joined using the zig zag crochet method. Next, the stitches are picked up for the neckband collar and knit in the garter stitch pattern. Lastly, a crocheted shell stitch border is added to the bottom edge of the Comfy Poncho.
