Thanks Maggie! 😊 that was such a lovely comment! 😘

Thank you!

Thank you! I’m glad you liked it! 🥰 Have a beautiful day!

Thank you! Oh no! 🤔I think we could solve that problem. I’d be happy to mail you some, if you want. It’s the first time I work with this yarn, and I am soooo in love! After a free rows working with it, I ended up with loads of projects in mind for this soft yarn 🧶.

Thanks! 😊

Gracias!

I apologize for the delayed response. I read the comment and it left me thinking, so I thought I’d re-watch the tutorial, think about it some more, and then come back and respond. So I have three theories: 1. The yarn. I noticed a 1-2 hour difference in crocheting this pattern that resulted from the yarn choice. Your yarn is larger, so I would have thought that it would have worked up faster, which led me to the next theory. 2. Size. If you crocheted the same number of stitches as me (52, I believe?), but used a #4 yarn v. the #3 that I used, then your cowl will be larger than mine. 3. Hook size. I’m thinking, and tell me if this is waaay our there, but I’m thinking that in order to make our crochet times about the same, our hook-to-yarn size ratio would have to be the same.If I used a J hook, which is 6 mm, that’s twice the size of my yarn, then you would have had to use an 8mm hook for it to be the same. Or I would have had to use a 5 mm hook. Anyway, that would have made our stitches proportionally even, no? Then we’d also have to use a measurement instead of chain numbers in order to make the cowls the same width. So both of our cowls would have been 12p in wide, instead of 52 chains across. Does that make sense? They are just theories, but I’m thinking the cowl size and hook size may have been what made the difference between our crochet times. I’m not Crochet Speedy Gonzales, but the cowl worked up in a day (I needed it the next morning for a last-minute gift). I did spend the better part of the day working on it for sure, it wasn’t a quick 2-hours and done project. You mentioned that your stitches are quite condensed, whereas mine were kind-of loose. So I’m thinking that if we were to put our cowls side-by-side, mine would be smaller, more loosely crocheted, and likely not as warm (bc the spaces between the stitches would be more open). You’ll have to let me know how it turns out. I still have to make a holiday gift for my MIL. She lives in a mountain city, so a thicker version of this cowl would be awesome! If you like yours, then I can run out and get the same supplies as you and make one. 😁

@@ModeBespoke OMG!!!!!!!!! I rewatched it too & u wouldn't believe what I have been doing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been crocheting in EVERY SINGLE STITCH! I haven't been skipping stitches in between - LOL!!!! WOW! No wonder it's taking super long to do and so much yarn. I apologize for the misunderstanding :) xx But, it is super warm & thick tho, lol! Sorry about the confusion xx

Oh no!!! What are you going to do? Are you keeping it as is, or frogging it and starting over?

@@ModeBespoke I really have to laugh at myself :) I'm going to keep it as is bc it's nice and thick. The yarn I'm using also gives it a nice drape so no need to rip it up. Feel free to delete my comment. I don't want anyone to think that your pattern is NOT a weekend project. It is totally my fault for not paying attention to your instructions. xx

😂 oh don’t worry about it! I’m glad it still looks nice!

I used one cake of Comfy Cotton yarn, which is about 393 yds (according to the yarn specs on the Lion Brand website).

That is up to you, dear. Make it as long as you need it to be so that it fits you comfortably.

I do not, sorry 😅

I believe the yarn I used for this is a #3 DK, light yarn. 🤔

Thank you! 😊
