Super wamr cowl + hoodie

Are you for winter yet? Jade and Ginger are:). So far the weather has been pretty good, then last night turned to really cold. It is just perfect timing when I finished these two projects. ---supper warm, super soft, super cute. I made a warm cowl for Jade and a cowl with hoodie for Ginger. They like it very much.

They are very easy to make. Jade picked up the peach yarn--Bernat Pipsqueak, because it is super soft and  when I picked up this homspun thick& quick, I knew they would be looked good together. Here they are.

Yarn: 1 ball Bernat pipsqueak / peach; 1 skein homespun Thick & Quick / sping stripes (used all)
Neddle:Circular US 15 (10mm) ; Crocher hook 8mm for hoodie edge

Warm cowl: 11" X 16"; 
 CO 40sts, joining together. worked in the round. work on garther sts 4 rows. then ST st till 16" from CO.  BO

Warm cowl with hoodie: basic it is a L shape. CO 40, joining together, worked in ther round. Work on garther sts 4 rows. then ST st 6.5"(16cm) from CO.
Next rnd 1,3: P 18, k 22; Next 2, 4: k; Next rnd 5: BO 18, K22. Work on rest of 22 sts (k in RS, p in WS) till the whole piece measured 16" from CO. fold in half , WS together, use 1 strand BO(I use the homespun yarn), then use the other strand(peach yarn) , work on SC st, crochet around the L shape for 5 rows. then BO.

Well, if you will like this project. These kind of yarn are very easy take care. and kids love the snuggie softness.

This pattern is for personal use ONLY!
