I love this pattern ,however could you start printing the weight category. I try to guess by the book number that
I meant to say hook number. I guess this pattern would take a number 6 yarn. If I know the number I can check my own stash. I checked your store and could not find Linraft yarn. Thanks Myrna
I love the cable look! If I was to crochet this, I would give it to one of my sisters-in-law.
Maybe me, but probably as a gift; I’m intimidated by cables!
I would make this for my granddaughter.
for me me me. In different colors to go with each of my coats & jackets. I have a short neck so the cowls most knitters make are too bulky for me. This pattern looks just right.
I would make this Cowl for my niece.
Love cherry red! I would make this cowl for my daughter, who wears a lot of cowls and loves this color.
I would make it for my mom.
I would totally make this for myself. It is gooooorgeous!
My sister would like this one.
I’d make this for my sister. She always appreciates the pretty things I make for her.
I would love to make this cowl for a charity.
I would crochet this for my mama. She loves em.
I think this would actually be better for a man– I can see my husband wearing it with his peacoat.
I’d crochet this cowl for my “adopted” daughter/best friend. She’s always cold & this would warm her up
Myself, friends, and for charity donations
I would crochet this for my daughter. She rides the school bus and its getting cold. She have a hard time keeping the scarf positioned so her face will stay warm lol.
i would crochet this for myself and my daughter
I would make this for my friends.
I would make it for my daughter.
I agree with myrnam above. It would be nice to also include the suggested yarn weight so we can substitute. I looked up this yarn and it says Super Bulky, which I assume is the same as our #6 here in the US. I am hoping to make one for my mother and myself!
I would make it for my mother-in-law. In her favourite colour. She knits for everybody else, and really deserves something pretty for herself.
I would crochet this for my oldest daughter.
Me i love the buttons so you can take on and off without over the head!
my friends
My daughter
myself and maybe my daughter too
I have a close friend who likes to wear scarves close to her neck, so I think she’d like this in a dark teal. And then I’d make one just like it for myself!
This would be great for my niece!
I would make this for my best friend who lives in northern Idaho where it gets really cold.
Such a pretty pattern! I want to make it for both my mother and for myself
My friend Donna.
One of the lovely ladies at church just requested a cowl.
Me. I need something to keep my neck warm and I deserve to benefit from my talent once in a while
I think this would be the perfect birthday gift for my best friend of over 50 yrs!
My friend, who loves drama. Do it in zebra yarn with big buttons. She would love it
Definitely like this scarf. I’d make it for my daughter-in-law.
My hairdresser
I would make this for my mother in law. And maybe my sisters and maybe one for myself.
One of my friends.
My girlfriend, to wear under her winter coat.
Me! And my daughters too! Looks cozy!
I would make it for my sister and niece
My friend who really feels the cold. Thank you for the free pattern.
I’ve never done a cable stitch but I’m willing to learn.
Myself! I live in MN and it is COLD
I’d love to do this for a friend confined to a wheel chair and we’re always looking to try something colorful and warm as she always feels the cold so acutely
