Plan Ahead For Summer With A Sea Breeze Summer Cowl

May 29, 2013 by AllFreeCrochet

Sea Breeze CowlGuest Post Written by Lorene Eppolite of Cre8tion Crochet

I recently had the opportunity to review a new line of yarn from Darn Good Yarn. The yarn used for this project is Silk Cloud in Mermaid at the Sea. I absolutely love the colors in this yarn. It reminded me so much of a perfect summer day at the beach so I was inspired to create something can be worn in the summer. This cowl is super lightweight and breathable. It will add the perfect accent to that cute summer outfit that needs just a little bit more. Making this summer cowl has inspired me to create other warm weather crocheted creations. Keep your eyes open for a matching summer slouch hat and a multi-wearable scarf/sari.

Materials:

  • 1 skein of Darn Good Yarn’s Anamika Silk Yarn in Mermaid at the Sea
  • 4.0mm crochet hook
  • Small needle to weave in ends

Finished Size:

12” by 12”

Abbreviations and Stitches used:

st- stitch

sp- space

sl st- slip stitch: insert hook into stitch or space, yarn over and pull through stitch, (two loops on hook), pull loop closest to hook through other loop

fhdc- foundation half double crochet: Chain 3(counts as 1st fdc). Yarn over and insert hook in 3rd chain from hook. Yarn over and pull through the st (3 loops on hook), yarn over and pull through 1 loop (this slip stitch is an important step but easy to forget). Yarn over and pull through all three loops on hook. That will complete one fhdc. To make your next fhdc *yarn over and insert the hook into the 1st sl st of the precious fhdc. Yarn over and pull up loop (3 loops on hook), yarn over and pull through 1 loop (this slip stitch is an important step but easy to forget). Yarn over and pull through all three loops on hook. Repeat till desired length.

hdc- half double crochet: yarn over, insert hook into stitch or space, yarn over and pull through stitch (three loops on hook), yarn over, pull through all three loops
dc- double crochet: yarn over, insert hook into stitch or space, yarn over and pull through stitch (three loops on hook), yarn over, pull through first two loops on hook, yarn over and pull through last two loops

hdc2tog- half double crochet two together: insert hook in first st. Yarn over and pull through st (two loops on hook). Insert hook into 2nd st. Yarn over and pull through st (three loops on hook). Yarn over and pull through all three loops on hook.

Notes:

You may find it hard to sl st into the top of the ch2 to join each round, if this is the case then instead you can sl st into the space between the 1st and 2nd posts instead. Then you will sl st into the 2nd st as written in next line. See all figures.

Notes

Instructions:

1. Fhdc 116 (alternately you can chain 116 and move on to step 2. Repeat step 3 two times)
