This knitted cowl made from sock yarn is almost meditative, with long rounds and an easy-to-remember pattern.

You can find the pattern here.



I can’t promise you’ll finish it quickly - unless you have turbo needles! But the pattern is truly pure relaxation.
You’ll need about 550m of sock yarn, though that’s just a rough estimate, since the length of the cowl can be easily adjusted to suit your needs. It’s knitted on a 3mm circular needle. The combination of the thin yarn and the thin needles gives the whole piece a very light and delicate look.
The cowl is also available, by the way, together with the matching hat as a value set.

                                


Giraffe Peppi  

This is warmth, this is sunshine, this is a smile on your face :-) A fun way to use up leftover yarn. 

The giraffe is made with fine crochet thread and will be approx. 27 cm tall. A hook size no. 2–2.5 is suitable. A little stuffing, 2 eyes, and a blunt needle. If you like crocheting with thicker yarn, the neck will be a bit wobbly. But Peppi also looks great as a floppy toy. At least that’s what my neighbor’s daughter says ;-) Magic ring, single crochet, and increases and decreases. With approx. 35–40 g of yarn, the giraffe will be finished very quickly and can move into your home.

Have fun crocheting :-)
