One skein of this. One skein of that. Put them together and what have you got? A cowloncho!
I might be stuck in a groove. A wonderfully happy groove of mixing yarns and skills. Joining knit stitches with crochet work has always fascinated me. Whether as a simple edge, dimensional embellishment or full blown mix it up throughout, I love making texture with stick and hook.
Lemaire Channel is my first cowloncho. You can read about the yarns by clicking the link to the Ravelry project page. The main body is knit at a loose gauge. Then edges are crocheted on (can you say "sparkle yarn?"). A few strategic seams and the cowloncho is ready.
It can be worn as a simple cowl if the arm hole is ignored.
That armhole allows it to be a poncho that stays put.
Use the armhole and scrunch up the rest like a cowl and you've got a cowloncho.
Those of you with eagle eyes will notice that it fits both me and she who crochets. If you are more in the large or tall category, more than one ball of each yarn will be required.
This made me so excited that I made another version with a crochet body and knit edges. I'm thinking that I'll have to write up both patterns and let you make your own cowloncho.
