Pretty girl wearing pink, yellow, purple and green lacey crochet cowl, Infinity Blossom Cowl by Susan Carlson of Felted Button | Colorful Crochet Patterns

::Infinity Blossom Cowl Ta-Dah::

Ta-Dah! This is my Infinity Blossom Cowl! I love this cowl--the colors, yarn, flowers, little diamonds in the center--and the fact that it can be wrapped or left long.

Remember this Japanese Flower WIP I wrote about back here? Turns out, I was following the diagram incorrectly in the center which made the flowers wonky at the petal edges. So there it sat in one of my many baskets of UFO's until I decided it was going to become part of my next pattern! Because the yarn is so altogether yummy--soft, drapey microfiber sock yarn with awesome long color runs, I had to use it for something lovely against the skin.

It could also be worn with a short loop at the neck and a longer one below. Hmmm. I'll have to try that.

I've been on a bit of a cowl thing lately. I think it is because a scarf often needs adjustment and re-fixing, whereas a cowl just stays put! If you know me at all, you'll know that I LOVE things staying done. Think about it--how much of your life stays done? Laundry? Dishes? Cooking? Going to work? Driving? Filling up the car with fuel? Washing the car, children or your hair--anything? Shaving your legs? Cutting your hair? (Thank goodness for the last one as I've had my share of not-so-good haircuts!)You get my point. And a cowl is less likely than a scarf to get shut in the car door--yep,done that and walked away until I was dragged back like a dog on a short leash!

This was a fun one to create! It's also a cool pattern because you can adjust the width and length, make a scarf or shawl, or even a table runner--that's what my awesome pattern tester, Mary, is doing with this one.

The pattern is now available in the usual places--Felted Button Shop or on Etsy.
