A sea-shore cowl for my godsister to use up some of the million chunky blue leftovers I have! I absolutely love how this came out since it was pretty much improvised.
Yarn: Stylecraft Special Chunky - my best guess at the shades is White, Duck Egg, Teal, Empire, and French Navy (they were all scraps without labels!)
Pattern: I used the ‘long wave stitch’ from this video for the main body of the cowl, and the ‘wave border’ from this video for the sea-foam edge!
Next up are triangle cowls, shawlettes, (cowlettes?) or as I'm toying with a special name for them for my store, hedgecowls/hedge cowls:

Some of them are dk, some are worsted, and some are heavier than that—two of these pictured (the grey/multi-colored one and the brown & blueish one) are OOAK skeins that were both handspun and hand dyed by indie spinners/dyers. All are patterns and variants of my own design, and they are super quick projects—I finished all of these in a binge over a few days in the winter.
All will be for sale (eventually) and are quite stylish:
(This one is botanically dyed wool, my own pattern design (also featured here and here) and a gift to a friend)
The main part is made with the "Nalbinding single crochet" stitch, as invented by Kris Stone of Light And Joy Designs. It's not nalbinding per se, more of a mix of techniques, and done with a normal crochet hook.

After finishing that part, wanted to add an increasing edge so the cowl would cover a bit more neck and shoulder area.

Oh my gawd, when she got the snood from her friend and the look, what the hell is it! I lost my mind! I knew exactly what it was! She ended up wearing this as part of her character.
I knew that the…
