How To Crochet Quickie Gift Cowls 

You prolly dont give a shit but if you guys are bored like me atm then you can stream all the new series on InstaFlixxer. Have been streaming with my gf for the last couple of months =)

@Princeton Kareem Definitely, I have been using Instaflixxer for since december myself =)

Awesome!

Melanie Hamm has a better tutorial on a warmer beginner cowl and you can see it on her.

At the very beginning of this video and on her playlist Episode 106.

I'm thinking to make this for a shorter adult, so want to use a "regular" yarn (to not overwhelm). What stitch count would you recommend?

Thank you!

Can you use a size 6 yarn? What size hook? Thanks!

Just finished using size 6 yarn, size P hook, 42 starting chain, and 5 rounds. I love the way it turned out. The circumference is almost 30" and the height is 6" I may make 1 more round for balance. I like the way it fits; it's not too tight.

CyberTrainer thank you so much, I will try it! 👍🏻

CyberTrainer thx so much!

Stalean Yes, I have seen some finger crochet tutorials for chunky yarn.

I don't but that would be cute!!

Not Jennifer but the size of your hood doesn’t change based on yarn material, just yarn thickness. You should be able to find the recommended hook size on the packaging or the website, and eventually you’ll just get a feel for the yarn sizes and what hooks to use. You also might find that some hook materials work better with some yarn materials, but I find that aluminum hooks with handles that I make myself work just fine. They’re cheap too.

Hi there, the cowl is on a dress form in the thumbnail or you can hop over to the blog to see more photos: www.fiberfluxblog.com/2016/12/free-crochet-pattern-quickie-gift-cowls.html

Bet you forgot to skip two stitches before making the V stitch.

Yes

Yes you can. I do it all the time.

Just finished using size 6 yarn, size P hook (smaller), 42 starting chain, and 5 rounds. I love the way it turned out. The circumference is almost 30" and the height is 6" I may make 1 more round for balance. I like the way it fits; it's not too tight.

@@CyberTrainerbased on your experience, I’m think 2 strands of 4 weight may work using your numbers. Thanks for sharing!

I would definitely try that! The pattern is so quick that you could even make a round or two and try it on to be sure it fits how you want it.

gwendo1ynP agree :/

gwendo1ynP Michaels always has sales going on, especially if you become a rewards member (which is free). Walmart usually has a decent, cheap, selection as well, plus the accessories for both are fairly cheap. I got everything I needed to start crochet (hooks, scissors, measuring tape) for less than $20. Plus many yarn/craft magazines have amazing sales. They'll have beautiful skeins for 50-75% off.

Have you tried Redheart Super Saver? It's a worsted weight... but can put two strands together, even three.... and Walmart has it really decently priced! Like under $3.00 usually.... just have to watch the yarn some of it isn't as good quality as the others. Also Michael's store brand is pretty good... some of it is a little 'rough' but once you wash your product it's so much better! Best luck!

At Joann’s you can find red heart yarn for 2.99

You can find yarn in second hand stores.
