Cowled

I've finished my hexagon cowl. The pattern is Sweet Hexagon Cowl by Mercedes Tarasovich-Clark. I had to adapt the pattern a little because I used handspun wool instead of the specified yarn. And I made mine much shorter. Mine is 110 cm long, where Mercedes' one is 162.5 cm long. I think that if I knitted it again, I'd dye all the skeins the same multicolour, so that the scarf would look like my sample. I enjoyed knitting it more than I expected to.  It's  not as difficult as I thought it would be to knit hexagons.

  1. I've never knitted a hexagon - your cowl looks very effective, and once again, all your own work, from sheep's back to your neck!

  2. It's very pretty! I've never knitted a hexagon either. I do have a pattern and some luscious yarn to go with it. You've inspired me to take another look at the pattern. :-)

  3. This scarf is very beautiful and quite unique. I like your sample as well, but it is different. It will match different clothes.
