I was going to do the A year of Projects posts every other week so I wasn’t in a rush to get something started or finished to show….. But I have to show off this amazing FO !!!!
Its called Mermaid’s Cowl. I really love this stitch. I used a g size hook instead of the H the pattern called for. The yarn is Caron Simply Soft: Pink Camo. I used all but a little ball of this yarn. Its also not as wide as the pattern. It covers the neck( my mannequin head has a longer neck than I do..lol) .
And for my WIP… Another crochet along by Chaos and Chop Suey. This one is for Grease. One of my all time favorite movies. Week one is Pink Ladies. I am at the decrease 🙂 I will finish the other half over the next few days so I do not fall behind 🙂
Patterns used:
Mermaid’s Cowl ( free pattern on Bernat design studio)
Chaos and Chop Suey Grease Blanket CAL ( this is a paid pattern..$8 on ravelry)

Your colorwork crochet is so neat. I bet it’s easier than knitting’s? Great mermaid cowl. It certainly looks like scales and it’ll keep out the cold winds.

The cowl is awesome! What a great gift that would make. I love how the colors worked out. The “Grease” C2C is interesting….I can’t wait to see how it all goes together in the end. I read her pattern description. I want to look at her other patterns too. I love C2C! Have a great week!

The mermaid’s cowl is so beautiful! I love the colours! 🙂 I saw Grease in theaters when it came out. My grandfather brought my sister and I there, he stood with us at the counter and gave permission for us to go in. They said we needed him to accompany us because it was rated R. He bought a ticket and sat in the lobby eating popcorn while we watched the movie lol…it was always our secret because our parents would have flipped knowing we saw it!
