what we’re making
We’re making a chunky Spring Headscarf and Cowl. It’s crocheted using gorgeously soft merino wool and it won’t take you long to make it.
This gorgeous headscarf is made by crocheting half treble stitches in the round – this creates an open and pretty texture that’s reversible. It starts off by joining the foundation chain, and then each row is joined with a slip stitch before moving onto the next one. I’ll show you how to do all of this in the video tutorials.
size
The Spring Headscarf is approximately 50cm (19.7in) around and 10cm (3.9in) high.
The gauge (stitch size guide) for this design is approximately 2 rows and 3 stitches in a 10cm (4in) by 10cm (4in) square.
how to change the size
Changing the size of your Spring Headscarf and Cowl is easy. Here are a few different ways to do it:
- increase or decrease the number of stitches in the foundation chain to change the length around your headscarf and cowl, or
- increase or decrease the number of rows to change the height, or
- change the size of your yarn or use a different sized crochet hook to change both the height and length around.
