tunisian resolution wrap

Join me this Sunday, Jan. 18th to make this beautiful, lacy wrap or scarf!

Sunday, January 18th, 1:00-3:00
Yarns Unlimited, Bloomington IN

If you've done the simple Tunisian crochet stitch and you're ready for another variation, try this other Tunisian crochet stitch and create a scarf, wrap, or cowl--width and length may be adapted to suit your own preference.

Bonfire Cowl

 

Cool air is blowing!  Snuggle up with this cozy, stylish, and chunky cowl.  This cowl hugs your neck with warmth and style perfect for Autumn's chill.  It is crocheted with a high quality wool/acrylic blend yarn.  It is warm and eye-catching, yet easy to wash.

You’ll need:

• 3 skeins of “Combo” by Universal Yarn, or about 130 yards super bulky weight yarn (shown with 1 skein each of khaki, chocolate, and teal)


• Size Q crochet hook


• Stitch marker


• Tapestry needle (for weaving in ends)

Gauge

3 rows x 6 sts = 4” x 5”

 Finished Measurements

34” circumference, 24.5” tall

 Pattern Notes

• This cowl is crocheted simply by single crocheting in the round through the back loops only (abbreviated as blsc)


• Rather than joining rounds with an extra slip stitch, you will join as you complete your last single crochet.

Crochet the Cowl

Ch 40 with first color.  Join to work in the round, being careful not to twist.

R1:  Ch 1.  sc in back bump of each chain until last chain.  Insert hook into last chain and draw up a loop.  Insert hook  through 1st stitch sc, draw up a loop, and pull through two all loops on hook.

R2-6:  Ch 1 (doesn’t count as 1st sc).  Blsc in 1st sc, place marker.  Continue blsc in each sc around.  Join to last sc as above.  (Continue to move marker to 1st sc in each round.)

R7:  Join next color.  Ch 1.  Blsc in 1st sc, place marker.  Continue blcs in each sc around.  Join to last sc as in row 1.

RR8-12:  same as rows 2-6.
