Appaloosa Cowl – A hand-knit cowl pattern.

Knit this pretty cowl in Malabrigo Arroyo or suitable sport weight/5ply yarn. I designed this simple lacey cowl which features moss stitch and gull stitch.

“It’s Hip to be Square” Baby Blanket

It’s finally finished! After sitting around for the longest time and waiting for the last little crocheted flower to be sewn on – it’s done! I couldn’t be happier.

The “It’s Hip to be Square” baby blanket is made up of a series of moss stitch and garter stitch knitted panels joined with crochet chains to granny squares. The granny squares each feature their own little crochet flower. It has a brightly coloured granny border and is edged with a double frill. I’ll be writing a pattern soon.

The blanket is 100% wool. I’ve mainly used Shepherd ‘Colour 4 Me’ 8ply and some Cleckheaton Country Kids 8ply.

 It measures 78cm square or approx 30.5 inches square. Originally I had intended it to be bigger with more granny squares but just wanted to finish it in the end. I’d use a lighter acrylic yarn next if I design a bigger one this one weighs in at about 500 grams in total. Designing another larger one in acrylic or polyester is on my to-do list.
