Homebode Catalogue Feature

Here is the absolutely beautiful Alice in Wonderland themed Homebode Catalogue, filled with the most delightful images and gorgeous products. Creative Director and Homebode founder, Michelle Barrett, sure does have a lovely sense of style.

I am lucky enough to have some of my crocheted accessories featured, and there's even a little designer profile about me! Check out the rest of the Homebode story here.

Free Ribbed Crochet Cowl Pattern

I thought I would share my latest design: here is my original pattern for the ribbed crochet cowl!

Yarn - I used 1.5 skeins Moda Vera Shiver

Hook - 6.5mm

Row 1: Ch 20, tun, Dc into 3rd ch from hook, dc across to end

Rows 2 - 21: Alternate rows of flo dc and blo dc to create ribbing

Row 22: sc into first 5 dc, ch 1, sk 1, sc next 6, ch1, sk 1, sc into last 5. (this creates buttonholes)

Row 23: dc into each sc to end.

Finish off. Weave in ends. Sew 2 large buttons to match buttonhole position.

Feel free to make as many of these as you like, but please do not copy or resell the pattern as your own. Thank you!
