Chantillon Cowl
Detail
The Chantillon Cowl is a pattern I made up for the Head & Shoulders pattern booklet released at Hill Country Weavers for the Hill Country Yarn Crawl this year. The booklet was a handout for yarn crawl participants; each pattern included is made to use one skein of Cascade Soft Spun, which we also gave to yarn crawlers.
The patterns are currently rolling out on Ravelry, and the booklet will eventually be for sale as an ebook on Ravelry. For now, you can queue up my pattern here:
And you can check out the rest of the patterns as they become available here.
About the name: Nothing fancy really, just a contorted version of the French word échantillon. If you look it up you may gain some insight into my design motivation.

If you’re looking for a quick, easy project to use up stash cotton, this is a pattern for you! Using half-double crochets and working into the back loop, this little facial scrub has a thick fabric and texture surface perfect for washing up. The edging gives you something to hold on to while scrubbing, and also gives the scrub a great shape and look. The curved edging also makes this a fun homemade soap dish to put by your sink.
Experience crocheters will whip this out in under an hour! New crocheters will get valuable experience in creating new looks with familiar stitches.
Tahki Sky is an amazingly soft, 100% organic cotton and an absolute dream to work with! Naturally, any other worsted weight cotton will work, but Sky is a personal favorite and has a great look and feel.
