This is a new one for me and I hope you guys like it as much as I do! I’ve never made a hooded cowl before but it has definitely always been something on my “must design” list. I drew some inspo from the classic granny stitch and combined it with some retro looking colors! It’ll keep you super warm and cozy that’s for sure!
This design is worked from the bottom up! For the cowl portion you will work in turned rounds using the granny stripe stitch. Once you reach the hood portion you will work in turned rows. I recommend cutting and joining your yarn for the cowl. When you reach the hood, no need to cut your yarn. Just pick it up the side when you need to switch colors. The trim to the hood is added last. Make sure you thread your drawstring as you go to make it easier on yourself!
I used Basic Stitch Anti-Pilling yarn for my Into The Woods Cowl. They have some really nice color options too! If you purchase the Lion Brand kit you can switch out your color choices! The kit also comes with a complimentary digital download of my pattern!
I had so much fun designing the Cross Stripe Poncho and I hope you guys love it! I used Lion Brand Basic Stitch Anti Pilling yarn which is amazing to work with. If you haven’t tried it yet I definitely recommend giving it a go! The pattern repeat on this is super easy. If you want a longer poncho just add an extra repeat on both panels. This pattern is also very beginner friendly. You are making two big rectangles and seaming together. The hood can be easily left off if you aren’t a fan. I also love that you can pick your own color palette for the stripes to add your own unique flair! Let me know what you guys think! 🙂
If you want a PDF printable version of the pattern you can find it in my Ravelry Shop and Etsy Shop!
