Crochet Cowl Pattern Release Day Tomorrow!

Hello! Tomorrow (Saturday 22nd March) is release day for my River Never Sleeps Cowl! This is a captivating möbius design that flows endlessly, just like a winding river.

The name of this pattern was inspired by a vintage fishing book called A River Never Sleeps by Roderick Haig-Brown. When I was crocheting up the cowl, I stumbled across a battered copy of this book with a beautiful cover illustrated by Stephen Russ and I felt that the perfect name had presented itself right at the moment of creation!

Crafted with the luxurious 4ply yarn in a Shetland/ Cheviot blend from The Scottish Wool Festival, this cowl promises unparalleled softness and comfort on chilly days. The intricate looking möbius construction is achieved by crocheting a long tube in the round and seamlessly joining it with a twist. 

This pattern is designed for intermediate crocheters and includes clear instructions in both UK and US terms. You'll need two distinct coloured skeins from The Scottish Wool Festival to bring this dynamic design to life.

Finished size, after blocking (but before sewing up): length 74cm; depth 20cm. Finished size, after sewing up: width 36cm: depth 20cm

To crochet this cowl, you will need:

• Main colour: 1x 100g skein of The Scottish Yarn Festival Clan 4ply (350m/ 100g, 80% Shetland/ 20% Cheviot), I used the colourway Bruce (blue). 

• Contrast colour: 1x 100g skein of The Scottish Yarn Festival Clan 4ply (350m/ 100g, 80% Shetland/ 20% Cheviot), I used the colourway Errol (green). 

• 4mm (G/6) crochet hook

• Large needle for sewing up

My new cowl pattern invites you to create a truly unique and mesmerising accessory, perfect for adding a touch of handcrafted warmth to any outfit.
