So I saw this cute cowl on Etsy for sale for $45. I knew I could make one myself and I just happened to have a spare skein of homespun in my yarn stash so I took out my crochet hooks and went to work.
By the next morning this is what I ended up with. I'm loving it. I'm going to go to Michaels today I hope and will pick up a couple of skeins of homespun in different colors and make a few of these for Christmas gifts.
Here is the pattern. I just typed it up and it is sooo easy. If you know how to crochet you can make this in just a few hours.

Thanks, Pat! Can't wait to try this! I have a bunch of random Homespun skeins and I was hoping I could make a pretty cowl with JUST one skein. Looks very nice. :)
