The Aspen Cowl – a crochet cowl pattern using the beautiful Alpine stitch. It’s becoming quite popular recently and for good reason, it’s gorgeous and one of my favourites. The stitch gives so much depth but is so simple to work with, and looks good on so many different projects. If you’ve never tried it you can find a tutorial here.
If you also love a matching set like I do, you can find a free pattern for coordinating fingerless gloves / mittens here. This is honestly the quickest pattern ever!
