The Occasional Cowl pattern is a guest post written by Abbey from The Firefly Hook. How to replicate with any yarn/hook combo: If your yarn doesn’t have a suggested hook size, you can find the right hook for your yarn by placing the yarn inside the crook of the hook and choose the hook that the yarn fills completely without popping out of the crook too much; chain the number of chains to get the desired width of the specific size you want and follow the rest of the pattern exactly from rnd 1. Ch 52 (58, 62, 65) sl st in first ch to connect ch (careful not to twist ch). (52, 58, 62, 65 sc) Rnds 3 – end: Rep rnd 2 until cowl measures desired height/size, do not finish off.

Star Wars Day, May the 4th,( be with you) is an awesome pun that was starting in the UK in 1979 (you guys are so punny! ), but due to social media has become a globally observed holiday. But I think using a small hook, thinner yarn, and creating small, delicate shapes takes a bit of practice. Although I was under the impression that it included yarn and supplies for ALL the characters, (despite the large lettering on the front that says otherwise) I feel I should tell you that it has materials for a storm trooper and Yoda, but all the character patterns are included in the pattern book. It comes with way more stuffing than you would need for the two, so just a few scraps of yarn is all you would need to make the other characters.
