Granny Victory Cowl

by saraphir
Follow me

I do love when designs come about as surprises. I was making up a pattern for someone at work so she could develop her crochet skills and decided on a mixture of granny and V stitches. As I was making it up I quite fancied making a cowl for myself and the Granny Victory Cowl was born. It is worked in the round and you can make it as wide or narrow as you wish – I really wish I finished my wide version before the beast from the east hit us here in Edinburgh! But at least it’s still cold and I’ll have some use of it! It’s my third cowl pattern made with chunky yarn, and a change from the herringbone theme of the Chunky Herringmesh Cowl and the Horisontal Herringmesh Cowl.

The cowls are made with Drops Andes – a chunky yarn in a 35% alpaca and 65% wool mix – and an 8 mm hook. I use it for winter accessories as it doesn’t have the same itchiness as pure wool yarns. I have made a narrow and a wider version of the Granny Victory Cowl. For the narrow version you need 210 g Andes (96 m per 100 g) and for the wider one 254 g. The narrow is 7 1/2 inches / 19 cm wide, the wider one 9 inches / 23 cm wide and they both have a 50 – 52 inch circumference. The pattern is below in both UK and US terms.

Please remember that this is my design and my copyright. You’re most welcome to use the pattern for yourself, but please do not copy, reproduce, translate or publish it as your own. If you sell what you make or post pictures of your makes I would appreciate if you mention where you got the pattern and direct people to my site. Thanks!

It takes me a long time to design these patterns and to write them out – and running a website is not free. I have decided to keep my site ad-free, so if you like my patterns I’d appreciate it if you would consider donating towards the cost:





Thank you!

I love these earrings that I just got from @garvald_jewellery! I saw they made them in other colours and I of course couldn’t stop myself from ordering a pair in gold, grey and cream…. I think they absolutely fabulous! We might be having a mini heatwave here in Edinburgh atm, but nevertheless, a good crafter starts Christmas prep early anyway! I’ve been crocheting up a storm of snowflakes for the new @garvaldmulberrybush shop and I’m very pleased I’ll be going back to Corbenic Advent Fair in November too. Most of the snowflake sets are also back in stock in my #EtsyShop and there’ll be new ones emerging closer to Christmas. I promise I am enjoying the summer weather as well though! ☀️😆 Embroidery and Persian carpets from @theburrellcollection in Glasgow. The detail and finesse is just astonishing, far more intricate than anything I could ever crochet! One of my favourite pieces at the CREATURE COLLECTIVE exhibition by makers from @garvaldedinburgh has got to be this carrousel made by members of the @garvald_glass workshop. Everything about it is fabulous! More great stuff from CREATURE COLLECTIVE - the latest exhibition by @garvaldedinburgh makers and artists @summerhallery in Edinburgh. It’s just great…. If you live in or close to Edinburgh come along, it’s open till 25th June. Just love all the creations on display in the latest exhibition from @garvaldedinburgh CREATURE COLLECTIVE. There’s a huge variety of art on display from makers across the organisation, I can’t possibly choose a favourite! Time to share a few more photos of the squares I made for a cushion for a friend… I do love this combination and might have to play with colours again soon. Pattern is on my blog. ‘Oh lovely spring, are all these flowers for our delight…?’ 🎵🎶🎵 Whatever their ultimate purpose, delightful they are! After the rain….
