Ravelry - Crochet and Knit Patterns

 Good Afternoon my yarny friends,

Well yesterday I taught myself how to add patterns to Ravelry.

In September of 2021 I designed my first cowl pattern and gave it to whoever wanted it and it was very popular.

Yesterday as a test run my Pewter Cowl pattern is on Ravelry for free!

I was very proud of myself, along with the help of google! LOL

Here is the Pewter Cowl pattern!

Click the LINK to download the pattern!

Thank you for visiting today!

These are my shorty socks which I made a tutorial for using fingerweight superwash merino and nylon.
