This morning before work, I set out to become an official Ravelry Designer. I didn't realize that I couldn't even post pictures with my patterns before I was linked up as one of their designers. So now I have a lone pattern wondering around their database with no photos attached. How sad!
I am launching the pattern to my
French Press Felted Slippers this upcoming Monday(October 12) and wanted to make sure I knew what I was doing on Ravelry. Turns out, I didn't! Let's hope they approve me as a designer before Monday.
And as promised, I will kick things off with a free pattern. This is a
very simple pattern- perfect for a beginner. Just in time for cold autumn winds: A cowl made with super bulky yarn. Not only will this cowl keep you warm, it will knit up extremely fast!
Autumn Orange Cowl
Size:
one size fits all
Materials:
1 skein Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick and Quick
Size 13(US) circular needles, 16"
This cowl is very simple- it is worked in the round in seed stitch the whole time. Since there are an odd number of stitches, just keep the pattern(K1, P1)throughout.
Cast on 41 stitches
Round 1: K1, P1; repeat to end
Round 2: P1, K1; repeat to end
Repeat these two rows until cowl is desired length.
The orange cowl is about 30 rows high. Bind off.

Head on over to the Etsy Lounge today to see a pair of my slippers with other cozy Etsy finds. While you're there...make sure you scroll down to Wednesday's post to find my "Golden Harvest" slippers amid a lovely Yellow Orchid Color scheme. Thanks, Andria!
Here’s the deal. I’ve had this blog for some time now. I’ve played with colors and fonts, put some pictures up, and found all my necessary ‘social buttons’. I’ve added gadgets and taken them away. I could probably play around with these things for another couple months…just to avoid writing this dreaded first post!
