    This free chunky cowl pattern works up in a jiffy and feels like a blanket of clouds around your neck!

    This free chunky cowl pattern works up in a jiffy and feels like a blanket of clouds around your neck! It's a inexpensive one skein crochet project using Loops and Threads Chunky Braid yarn. Makes a great DIY gift idea!If a person whose eyes are bigger than their stomachs takes on more food than they need, what is a person who tackles far bigger crochet projects than are necessary?

    Someone whose ideas are bigger than their hands?

    Maybe so. Either way, I am that person. Always.

    This free chunky cowl pattern works up in a jiffy and feels like a blanket of clouds around your neck! It's a inexpensive one skein crochet project using Loops and Threads Chunky Braid yarn. Makes a great DIY gift idea!I get inspired by a big project (like this Beekeeper's Quilt) and then just dive in before considering if I really have the hours in the day to complete it.

    So lately, I've been trying to be more mindful about intentionally downsizing my projects. Quick cowls. Small flowers. Easy gifts.

Makes a great DIY gift idea!Don't get me wrong, I'll always have some sort of massive work in progress (like this Christmas beast!) laying around the house for my family to trip over, but in 2017, you can also expect me to share more bite-size crochet projects.

    This chunky cowl pattern was the outcome of my deliberate efforts to rein in my project scale. I needed a gift for a friend. I wanted it to feel luxurious, but I also had only one evening to make it.

        You're welcome, Sally! I love when I can sit down on the couch and not get up until I've finished an entire project. Feels great, doesn't it!?

      Love your patterns, thanks for sharing! I would love to see a pattern of a hat that has the scarf attached. I'm not sure if they have a name for them. I have seen a couple patterns but I wasn't crazy about how they looked. Hope that makes sense.

        Oh yes! What a fun idea! I don't know what those are called either, but I'd love to dream one up.

        I'll add it to the list. 😉
