Scaapi cowl!

Scaapi cowl

Beautiful May! I was so lucky to recieve a box of possibilities from the lovely Michelle over at Scaapi. And there was some gorgeous South African yarn from Vinnis colours, called Bambi. A cotton-bamboo blend! So super soft! and the colors reminded me of a beautiful spring day. I was so inspired by the softness in this yarn,  and the Scaapi Cowl was created. Perfect for spring days and chilly summer evenings. With a few changes, you can easy make a gorgeous shawl or scarf. For the shawl, just rearrange the motifs as a triangle. I will post the drawing for the joining in the bottom. And the hand written diagram for the motifs.

The pattern is written in U.S. terms and I used a 4 mm hook.

This is the child size of the cowl. You will need 8 big motifs and 4 small (2 tall, 4 wide).  For the lager cowl, you will need 15 big motifs and 10 small  (3 tall, 5 wide).

A small tip is to finish round 1-6 on all your big motifs. Use the Pic 1 to see how to join the motifs as you go. You can also sew the motifs together in the picots, if you find the joining difficult.

Abbreviations:

Ch- chain

ss- slip stitch

sc- single crohet

hdc- half double crochet

3dcc- 3 double crochet cluster

Picot- ch 3 and make a ss in the 1.st ch
