Horizontal Herringmesh Cowl

Follow me

I’m slowly trying to work my way through a backlog of old patterns I’ve been wanting to get out as well as working on new things, which is rather a juggling act at the best of times! Ever since I made the pattern for the Chunky Herringmesh Cowl I wanted to make one that was worked in a round rather than in rows and here it is – the Horizontal Herringmesh Cowl. The principle for the pattern is the same, but it is worked in a round, so you don’t have to crochet the two ends together when you’re finished.

While the herringbone effect of the mesh is somewhat stronger in the Chunky Herringmesh Cowl, the edge looks neater in this one and it is more satisfying to crochet in a round and not have any joins. Both cowls are made with 2 balls of Drops Andes yarn and an 8 mm hook. Drops Andes is a chunky yarn with a yardage of 96 m per 100 g. It is also super soft and snug, being composed of 35% alpaca and 65% wool – I wear my two all the time in the winter! You can of course use other yarns with a similar yardage. The circumference of the cowl is around 51-52 inches / 132 cm. The cowl is fast to make – I can make one in an afternoon or evening.

The bottom cowl is the Horizontal Herringmesh Cowl and the top one the Chunky Herringmesh Cowl.

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!

Designing and writing out patterns takes a long time – 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 to help me continue publishing patterns for free:

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…. My website is now all tidied up and up to date and I wrote a blog post about my ‘Friends Around The World Blanket’ as well. You can find links to the patterns on my blog and guide to how I evened out the size differences. You can find it on Saraphir dot com… meta are still blocking me and I can’t find my way around their systems. 😕 You can also check out all the cals on @calcrochetalong I meant to do my work today…. But the cherry blossom is out! Happy Sunday everyone! Hope you’re having a lovely day wherever you are. I’ve spent the morning starting much needed tidying up of my website. This means going through all the posts and making sure all the links are up to date, my name is right and the format is the same. Happy Earth Day. ♥️ I loved these tapestries by @cindysherman at @arosartmuseum in Aarhus. Such incredible detail in the weaving and the thread is unbelievably thin… amazing skill by the weavers. A few more photos of my latest cushion cover…
