One of the hottest fall/winter trends predicted this year is big, bulky, super thick yarn – and cowls and scarves of course! Well, Lion Brand has put together a super fun idea that speaks to both of those – #scarfie!
Lion Brand sent me two skeins of Wool-Ease Thick & Quick – and the #scarfie challenge! Use the yarn, make a scarf or cowl, and take a selfie in it! 
The Stormy Weather Cowl is the result – and I love it! It’s big, bold and works up crazy crazy fast with the Thick & Quick yarn. So even when stormy weather takes you by surprise, you can whip up one of these fast as lightning!

I hope you like the Stormy Weather Cowl! It was too fun to make! I don’t usually post selfies here on Moogly – my kids make much cuter models – but the #scarfie challenge was too fun to resist! If you make a Stormy Weather Cowl, be sure to use the hashtag #scarfie so I can take a peek!

Tamara Kelly says

Sharon says
What a lovely cowl! Since I have a short neck, this cowl is too wide! Do you know if I use a thinner yarn and smaller hook if I would still get the same affect? Any suggestions on yarns & hook size? Thanks 🙂
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Sharon! You can absolutley use a thinner yarn and smaller hook. Lion Brand Wool-Ease worsted and a J hook would be a great option. 🙂 Thank you!
Michele says
Love Lion Brand yarns!!!!
Anneke says
Love! Love! The look! Can’t wait to try it out! I’m thinking thin yarn for summer accesory.

Hi…I have been crocheting for years. I have never done any crocheting with a bulky yarn before but I saw the Stormy Weather Cow pattern and I had to try it. Since Christmas is coming I thought about making an afghan with this pattern. It is very quick and the Lion Brand yarn is so soft.
Thank you so much and all of your tutorials are excellent.
Rose curry says
This is Rose Curry again…

Adam Taylor says
Darn you for making this project so pretty and easy! I have never worked with a bulky yarn before or such a large hook, but this is so simple, I’ve made three already: one for my mother-in-law, sister-in-law and a coworker. So pretty and so simple! Thanks, Tamara for another excellent pattern!
Tamara Kelly says
😀 Thanks so much Adam! Glad you like it! Mwahahahahaha!
Moriah Payne says
I finally found the perfect yarn for this and sat down to make it! I’m in love!!! Thanks for yet another amazing pattern! And of course, I posted my scarfie on instagram 😉
Moriah Payne says
Oh and I ended up using Bernat Softee Chunky in Grey Heather and Emerald instead because the Emerald was so stinking pretty!
Tamara Kelly says
😀 I’m so glad you liked it Moriah!
Tangled says
So, I’m on round 3 and the directions make sense. I can see the ch-space from round 2, but when I go to work into the following DC, I have a hard time telling which loop is the ch and which is the top of the DC that I should be working into. Any tips?
Glory says
i don’t understand row 2
Tamara Kelly says
Did you watch the video tutorial linked in the pattern?
Glory says
OH I didn’t know u had one! thank u! I really wanted to make one of these beauties!
JacKie says

Tamara Kelly says
