Update Design Wars 5: The Keyhole Cowl


I've allready told you I'm competing in this round of Design Wars here. Well the competition is coming to an end and I wanted to take a moment to show you my design, The Keyhole Cowl.

I love to design shawls and cowls. This wrap has the best of those two items in one! It looks like a beautiful triangle shawl which can be draped to your liking, but has two keyholes to close the shawl like a cowl so it won’t slip off.

The combination of an oversized hook and a delicate knit-look stitch make this cowl light, drapy and very comfortable to wear.

Once I started making examples I couldn’t stop and used a lot of different and preferably contrasting colors, the pattern comes with a lot of color inspiration varying from 2 contrasting colors to stripes or even a colourful patchwork design.

The basic pattern provides three sizes: baby, child and adult! It is an easy pattern, suitable for advanced beginners and experienced crocheters too!

I think this pattern represents anything I try to stand for as a designer, it’s beautiful, practical, different, customizable, wearable and I think you’ll love it!

Materials:
-Red Heart Soft Yarn (92m-265m)
-Crochet hook 8mm/L

This pattern contains both written instructions and a crochet symbol chart.
All my patterns are available in Both English and Dutch. You can find this pattern on Etsy and Ravelry.
