Flint Fox Cowl

It's been a while. And I know it's been a while when my hands start to ache and go numb from crocheting and my computer doesn't recognize my camera anymore. My crocheting has gotten a little rusty. When I started this pattern, I forget how to do certain stitches and how to start a round. That's not good but I was able to finish this recent project. My friend Lisa from the good ol' days at Park's Tae Kwon Do posted a cute knitted cowl on my Facebook page and asked if I knew how to make it. At first, I didn't think I could since I could only find knitting patterns for it. But after a little more digging, I was able to find a crochet pattern.

It came out decent but I am a little disappointed that it didn't turn out the way I was hoping it would. The hood's a little too big and the width is a little too narrow. I think I should've just started off with the child's size but no... I had to make the adult size and spend a bajillion dollars on yarn. Oh well...you live and you learn, I guess.

The pattern was easy enough to follow. I just made the mistake of making my first chain too tight so now it's a little small to go over a full-sized adult's shoulders. And I should have done less rows on the hood but the instructions say that the adult size hood should be about 27 rows. I think it's too big but I know some like their hoods to be on the slouchy side. The child's size hood probably would be enough to fit over an adult's head if you want more of a fitted size.
