Oh, that cowl is simply lovely Olivia! The colors are beautiful! I can't wait to see what you come up with next! Thank you for all your great patterns!
Sarah
Aww, thank you Sarah! 🙂
Can worsted weight yarn be substituted?
Yes, but you'll have to use 2 strands while crocheting, instead of 1. If you don't mind your cowl being thinner, 1 strand is also ok, but it won't have the same chunky-iness and thickness.
Olivia 🙂
Very nice! Thank you for sharing!
Nice read! I like the suggestions.
Olivia, thank you so much for sharing. If you don't mind, can you share how you did the color changes? Meaning,did you carry the yarn up the sides/end of rows?
Hi Tasha,
Here is a video tutorial with the method I used for changing colours ~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vm-OCqPaIkY
Hope it helps!
Olivia
This is beautiful!
Can it be worked up as a circle instead of weaving it together at the end?
Yes, if you attach the base chains together with a slip stitch.
Are the stitches written in American terms?
US Terms
It looks like the honey color you used 2 strands. It doesn't say so in the instructions. Is the correct or am I just looking at it wrong. Very pretty cowl. My daughter loves wearing these and I would like to make her one of these.
Hi Donna,
I used 2 strands of 8ply honey yarn. I did this because I didn't have any chunkier honey coloured yarn.
Hope this helps!

Hi Olivia: Thank you for sharing your patterns. My grandchildren love these things. How can I get the directions to my printer though. I would like to copy the instructions to my printer. What letter crochet hook is a 12.00? Patti
Hello Patti,
I'm not sure what letter a 12.00mm crochet hook is, sorry!
Just click right, copy the instructions, then paste them into a word document before printing.
Hope this helps!
Olivia
Hi Olivia: I love the pattern but I too have the same 2 questions. How do I get to my printer, and what size hook is 12.00? Thanks!
I'm glad you love the pattern Ann! 🙂

Hey Olivia I'm a new self taught crocheters. I have been on a cowl making kick. I want to make this one. I'm making mine in the round. Just starting on the 3rd row. I must be drawing a blank, I just don't understand the directions for this row. Can you please help me with it?
Hi Olivia ! I just wanted to say this is BEAUTIFUL! You are so talented with color combinations and stitch combinations. I went out to google to see if I could help answer everyone's q about the size 12 hook, and I couldn't find any charts that had 12 on any measurement (mm, US, or UK ?)
Is it maybe that super big one, the "speed hook" it's sometimes called?
Hi Stacy,
Aww, thank you!
I'm not sure if it's called a speed hook, but this is the hook I use ~ http://www.hookedonyarn.com.au/12mm-bamboo-crochet-hook/

Made this today. Such a fun pattern. I thank you for sharing.
I just discovered this cowl and I'm in love with the combination of colors, my first thought when I saw it was: Chanel or Yves Saint Laurent remember! I'll do it one for myself this weekend! Thanks for sharing your beautiful job.
