Stag Beetle Cowl
The Stag Beetle Cowl features fun, colorwork beetle motifs in the center surrounded by an ornate border. This pattern is perfect for showcasing a skein of variegated sock yarn that you love but aren’t sure what to do with. The pattern includes instructions for making the cowl in both fingering and worsted weight yarns. Sample shown in the fingering-weight version.
Der Hirschkäfer Schal hat mittig lustige farbig gestrickte Käfer, welche mit Ornament-Bordüren umrandet werden. Diese Anleitung ist perfekt, um Einzelknäuel von buntem Sockengarn zu verwenden, welches du liebst aber nichts mit anzufangen weißt. Die Anleitung beinhaltet Instruktionen für beide Garnstärken, leicht (fingering) und mittel/dick (worsted). Die deutsche Version dieser Anleitung wurde übersetzt von Sarah März, auf Instagram zu finden als ‘gluecksliesel.sarah’!
