Ellianne

 


Ellianne is a very feminine but practical cowl. (I don't know about you, but I don't like neckwear that tangles into things as I pass by, so I tend not to make them super long). This cowl can be made by an Advanced Beginner that has learned how to follow patterns.

Ellianne is based on the Sedge Stitch, a beautifully textured but simple stitch that is easy to do and looks very pretty.

Skill- Moderately easy.

Size- One size fits all (you can make it a little longer or shorter if you want to). The cowl is 5" W x 21" L, but you can adapt this to what you like.

Materials-

Crochet hook size H

Red Heart Super Saver Orchid (or any color you prefer)

Sides of Cowl-

Make a slip knot and with a size H hook, chain 86.

Row 1- Sc in 2nd ch from your hook and each across.  Ch 1, turn.

Row 2- [1Sc, 1hdc, 1dc] in 1st st, *skip the next 2 sts, [1Sc, 1hdc, 1dc] in the next st.  Rep from * across, skip next to last st, sc in last st. ch 1, turn

Row 3- Work 1 sc and 1 hdc in first st of row, *skip to next single crochet and work 1 sc, 1 hdc and 1 dc in that sc, rep from * across, ch 1, turn.

Rows 4 to 17- Repeat row 3 for pattern.  

Front of Cowl-

Row 1- Ch 1, turn. Working across the narrow edge of the first side of the scarf, (instead of across the width of it, make 19 sc, spread

evenly across), ch 5, insert hook into the edge of the opposite side of the cowl and work 19 sc across as for the first side. Ch 1, turn.

Row 2- Work 1 sc in each sc and into each ch across. (44 sts), ch 3, turn.

Row 3- 1 sc in each sc across. (44 dc). Ch 3, turn (counts as 1st dc or next row).

Row 4- 1 dc in each remaining sc across. (44 sts), ch 3, turn.

Row 5- Working in back loop only, 1 dc in each back loop across. (44 sts), ch 3, turn.

Row 6-  Rep row 5. Ch 1, turn.

Row 7- Working in both loops, sc in each st across.

Edging-

Row 1- Ch 3, slip st into the same loop, *skip 2 sc, ch 3, slip st into the same loop, slip stitch into each of next 2 sc, rep from * across, until you reach the last 3 sts

slip stitch into next 2 sc, ch 3, slip stitch into last sc. Fasten off.

Bow-

Row 1- Ch 12, 1 sc in second ch from hook and in each ch across. (11 sc) Ch 1, turn.

Row 2- 1 sc in each sc across. (11 sc) , ch 1, turn.

Rnd 3- This time we will be working all around. Work 1 sc in each of first 11 sc, now,

work 3 sc on the side of the strip that is forming, work 1 sc in each of the 11 loops at

the bottom of the strip, finish the round by working 3 sc on the side of the opposite side

at the end of the round.

Rnd 4- Work 1 sc in each st around. Slip st to join round, fasten off, leaving a long enough tail to 

sew the bow, to tie up the center and to fasten off, I just eyeball it.

Sew the bow in place as follows:

With a blunt needle sew one edge of the bow in place. Slip the needle on the back of all the stitches

across until you reach the middle of the bow, wrap yarn around the middle of the bow, piercing through

the crocheted fabric below to secure the bow completely, then slip the needle through the back stitches

until you reach the end of the bow, attach it in place like you did at the beginning. Fasten off, weave in tail.

You're done!
