    PART 2 INSTRUCTIONS (the solid side) - Color B:

    Snow Drops Reversible Cowl - FREE crochet pattern on Mooglyblog.com!

    ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS - worked with Color B:

    1. Both pieces are worked in the round, so the right side is the one that was facing you as you crocheted. Turn Part 2 wrong side out, and place wrong sides together, with Part 2 on the inside of Part 1.
    2. Use stitch markers to attach top and bottom of both parts evenly.
    3. Replace hook in active loop of Part 2 and sc through both layers of top and bottom. (140 sts on each) Break yarn and weave in ends.


    And now you have a reversible cowl! I love the way each side peeks out, however you wear it. And if you prefer long infinity scarves to cowls, just make the first round as long as you like, with any multiple of 10 sts. I hope you enjoy the Snow Drops Reversible Cowl!

      I must echo the "STUNNING" comment. I saw a cowl like this recently, but it was knitted, and I filed a photo of it away, thinking someday I would try to figure out how to duplicate it in crochet. But I don't need to tax my brain or crochet skills when Tamara Kelly is on the job. This is exactly what I was looking for. You are truly amazing--thank you so much for sharing the pattern and your amazing talent.

      I'm not the biggest fan Cowls ever had, but this is truly exceptional. I loved Judy's comment ... since I cannot crochet any more, I saw this as an inspiration to design a knit version. But now I'll search around and see if I can save on my "taxes" too! Either way I'll still save this.

      HELP... some how, when I am working with a pattern like this and it says...
      Round 1: FSC 140, join to work in the round. (140 sts)

      Round 2: Ch 2 (does not count as a st), dc in each st around; join to 1st dc of round. (140 sts)

      I always end up one short... what am I doing wrong?

        My guess is that you are not putting the first st of the second round in the first st of the first round. Since the ch 2 doesn't count as a st, you want to work the first stitch right in the first st of the previous round.

        Hi Chere! I don't know why it's bunching - slip stitching into the chain will make it a little bit thicker, but it shouldn't really bunch up. You might want to try making your sl sts a little bit looser.

          Hi thanks for taking the time to reply! I figured out what I was doing wrong. I totally thought you meant to sl st into the chain 3 space not into the next 3 chains lol goes to show I shouldn't try new patterns when sleepy! It's all finished now and turned out beautifully. Thank you again!! Have a lovely day!

          In Round 8, you don't sl st join, you work a dc in the 1st st of the round instead, so that just like Round 4, it *looks* like you've finished in the center of a ch-5. This puts you in the right place to start the next round.

        Hi Paige! At the end of Round 4, instead of joining, you dc in the 1st st of the round. This is done to move the start of the next row to look like it's in the middle of a ch-5. 🙂

      I'm following the pattern as written, and the join stitches are coming out a huge mess. Can you offer any advice? I've frogged it at least three times, and still can't get it to look correct.

        Hi Tiffany! I'm sorry you're having trouble. I'm not sure what you mean by huge mess. Are you referring to the sl st join at the end of most rounds? Or when you sc the two pieces together?

      Help!!!

      I'm doing this pattern as we speak and I'm stuck at the end of round 4. Where do I put the the last double crochet. I'm so lost and confused. I'm stuck at this part:

      "around, finishing last repeat at **, ch 2, dc in 1st st of round. (14 5-dc shells)"

      I don't know what that means?

        Hi Maria! The first stitch of Round 4 was a sc in the first st. Instead of joining at the end of this round, work a dc in that first sc. This way you finish this round at what looks like the middle of a ch-5 - this is done to set up the next round. 🙂 Does that ehlp?

      In the beginning of round 5 it says to ch 1 and do a sc in the 1st St. Is the first St as the dc.?

      My next question is what does this mean :

      "Ch 1, sc in 1st st, *ch 5, skip next st, sc in next ch-5 sp, ch 3, skip next st, dc3tog over next 3 sts, ch 3, skip next st, ** sc in next ch-5 sp;"

      Because after I do the sc I have the chance 5 from the previous row and the 5 dc .

        You can sc in the dc, or in the "ch sp" that the ch 2 and dc create.

        After the first sc, you should come to a st and the next ch-5 sp of the previous round, before you get to the 5 dc. The dc3tog is in the center 3 sts of the 5 dc.

      Hello there, I am commenting to tell you that I love this pattern so far. I just wanted to suggest that you make an alternate instruction for the third loop round. For left handers, the third loop will be on the side that is away from us, so working in the round on those rows will not work. What I suggest is adding a turn at the end of the row before the third loop row and a turn at the end of the third loop row( after joining to the first stitch of course). That way our faux knit will be on the same side each time and it will look like it is supposed to.

      I really like this pattern; I wonder whether if it could be made into an infinity scarf that I could double around my neck. Do you know what the multiplier would be? Or maybe multiplier might not be the right word, but often patterns will have a formula for the initial number of chains - like they have to be a multiple of ? plus 3 chains. Thank you.

      Is anyone else having trouble with the lace side being larger than the 2nd side? I ran out of yarn for the lace side so it was a couple rows shy of the size it should have been yet it still seems much larger than the 2nd side. I'm assembling it now but am afraid the lace is going to sag. I'm planning on making a couple of these for Christmas gifts. The pattern is well written and is working up nicely. I'm wondering if on future ones if I should make the lacey side with a size smaller hook maybe?

        Hi Heidi! Individual variations in tension can definitely have that effect. I would make one side and then make the other side to match - however many rows that works out to be. It would probably be easier to adjust the solid side. 🙂

        The lace side of mine did seem a little wider, however I figured it was due to being a different type of yarn and I tend to crochet looser as I go along, and I made that side after making the solid side. Once I completed the cowl, I washed it and it looks great.

      Round 3: Ch 1, hdc in each st around; join to 1st hdc of round. (14o sts)

      Round 4: Ch 2 (does not count as a st), dc in 3rd loop of each st around; join to 1st dc of round. (140 sts)

      Round 5 – 22: Repeat Rounds 3 – 4 nine times.

      Is Round 4 missing something? If I am DC in the 3rd loop of each st around am I skipping two stitches?? Then I am not doing 140 stitches right??? I am confused.

      I'm having trouble joining the rows for the lace portion. Do I do the part after the two asterisks last or finish a row with the part before the two asterisks. So for example, in row 3, do I skip a stitch and the dc in the last stitch or do I dc3tog then dc? What is the "last stitch" exactly?

        Hi Amy! I'll try to help, but please do reference the chart as well!

        You make the repeat several times that goes beyond the ** asteriks, until the last repeat, which ends at the **. Then it depends what that line of instructions says next - sometimes there are more stitches, sometimes there are not. The last stitch refers to the last stitch left in the previous round.

        In Round 3, at the end, you do not dc3tog, as that's after the **, you skip that and dc in last st.

      Confused: lace side-rd3: ch2 skip *1st (*which looks like 4th dc in 5-cluster below), dc in next (which is the 5th in cluster below), ch 3 skip next st<-skip what next st? There's only a ch5 "next"...

      After "finish last repeat" you say to DC in last st- what last st?--after sc in ch5 k
      & ch3 what's left on previous row is the 5 dc cluster, which has a ch2 and *1dc in it from beginning of row. ..then you say to join to 1st doc of round- which I guess is * to left of ch2-- but I still can't find where that DC goes

      Round4-if joined to the only dc, as st to rt is ch2 & say to CH1 & sc in 1st st- what 1st st? My next st in row below, which to me looks like a 1st st, is the sc, which has a ch3 before it. --- to make this clearer, what I see at beginning of rd (that I'm trying to figure out your words to end row & start next), is: ch3, a skipped st then 1 dc, ch3, sc, ch5,sc, ch3, and dc3tog...etc

        Hi June! Those round start with ch 1 and sc, and finish with a dc worked into that first sc. This sets you up for the next round. The dc takes the place of 3 chs, putting you in the middle of a ch-5, so you can work the first st of the next round in the middle of the "ch-5" sp. Does that help?

        work 5 sc in the ch-5 sp,
        skip the sc,
        work 2 sc in the ch-3 sp,
        sc in the top of the dc3tog,
        work 2 sc in the ch-3 sp,
        skip the sc,
        start again from the first step.

      So, thanks a lot and best wishes from Germany

      For the lace side, row 3, do you 2dc into the chain space or into the next st?

          2 dc in 1st st of previous round (same st as ch 3 and 2 dc) - this is the first stitch of Round 1 that you are working into, the same stitch you started working into in Round 2. 🙂

      Hi, thank you very much for sharing this pattern! I'm making the cowl right now and I'm very excited about it :).

      Could I ask why, in the chart, the 5dc shells are drawn as 4-dc shells? Is this a charting convention I'm not aware of?

        Thank you Angela! But I think if you look again, you'll see there are 5 dcs in the shells in the chart too. The exception is the shell that's made at the join, where a ch-3 counts as the center dc of that shell. 🙂

      Such a beautiful scarf! But then again, all your patterns are.

      Am I understanding correctly that the "bumpy" side of Part 2 goes to the inside and that it is the smoother side that faces out? Though I do like the look of the ridges a lot, I also noticed that the place where the rounds join appears much more prominently on the bumpy side and on the smooth side.

        Thank you so much Kathy!
        I put it together so that the bumpier side faces out, as I like the look, but you can flip it around if you like the other side best! 😀 It's up to you!

      I figured out what the 3rd loop was, I haven't heard it referred to as this, but are we dc in the 3rd loop on the front or back of the hdc?

      Hi! I absolutely love this pattern and am going to try to make it for a friend-my question is, can I use a thinner yarn like cotton and have it work out? Or would it be better to just go with the bulkier yarn? Thanks

        Hello Hannah!
        This pattern calls for a DK weight yarn, but if you wanted to go even thinner, you could add 10-20 sts to the beginning chains. 🙂

      Just curious about the end/beginning of the pattern. Mine looks a bit wompy. I've looked at the diagram; maybe mine matches.

      Can I post or email a photo?

      Love the pattern! I'm making it for a friend.

      Yikes! I have seen so many people having problems with this that I am almost afraid to try it.

      I am writing to ask a very simple question when compared to theirs. You have used a FSC at the beginning of the pattern and I was wondering why. Is it better to use this than the chain method, does it make a difference to how it looks overall and if I can't get the hang of it how do I start normally please???

      I ask because I am a fairly new crocheter.

      Yours in yarn

        Hello Louise!
        I used a FSC because it is so much stretchier! But if you don't want to use it, you can start use the alternate instructions included in the pattern notes above. 🙂

      Hi there! Love the blog and your video tutorials. I've recently finished the Fortune's Wrap and now working on the Snowdrop cowl. Just wondering for the cowl, when working row 4, are we to work into the 3rd loop on the front or on the back or does it matter so long as we're consistent every time we repeat the row?

      Hi, Tamara! I'm trying this pattern out now, and just like a lot of the others that left replies, the end of the 4th round of Part 1 is confusing me. For clarification, from what I read from your replies to others, after the last ch5 repeat, it's ch2 then dc in sc from the beginning, then chain 1 to sc in ch2-dc space from previous round, or is it just sc, in the ch2-dc space from previous round, with a ch1 to join the end of round 5 to the beginning sc? Please help.

      Thanks!

        Hi Joan! To finish Round 4, after working 5 dc in the last ch-5 sp, you ch 2, then dc in the sc that started Round 4. There is no slip stitch join for this round - it is completed with that dc. To go to Round 5, just ch 1 (does not count as a st) and sc right back in that dc and then go from there. 🙂 Does that help?
