Hi everyone! I am so excited to participate in the fifth annual Make It For Me Event with ELK Studio! Make sure to stop by and check out all of the other great Make It For Me projects! My pattern contribution is a beautiful, warm and cozy blanket cowl. It makes a perfect Make it for Me project because I absolutely LOVE cowls but I never make them for myself. This cowl is perfect for me because it’s quite warm and cozy since I am always cold. If I am feeling extra cold, I can bring it down over my shoulders or put it over my head as a hood, which is an added bonus. Scroll down to check out the FREE crochet pattern for my Comfy Cozy Blanket Cowl. I hope you enjoy it! Happy Crocheting!
