JOANN HACK:
DIRECTIONS:
- LION BRAND® OFF THE HOOK® FAUX FUR - Chinchilla (1 ball)
- LION BRAND® large-eyed blunt needle
- About 2 yd (2 m) of matching smooth yarn
- NOTE:
- Yarn amount is sufficient to make both projects — Headband & Bolton Valley Cowl.
- SIZE:
- Finished Circumference About 19" (48 cm)
- Finished Width About 4" (10 cm)
DIRECTIONS:
- HEADBAND:
- Set Up
- Pull out one end of yarn and count out 6 loops. You’ll be working on just 4 loops. This length of 4 loops will be the beginning of your Headband, the other 2 loops are the beginning yarn tail and will be secured later.
- Lay this length of 6 loops onto a flat surface, with the end of the yarn on your lefthand side.
- Check to be sure that all loops are facing upwards and that the loops aren’t twisted.
- Make your Headband
- Now you’ll be working in rows across the length of loops.
- The yarn that’s coming from the yarn ball is called the working yarn.
- Hold the working yarn behind the length of loops.
- With your thumb and index finger, reach through the first loop (6th loop from the end) on the beginning of your Headband.
- Pull the next loop from the working yarn through the first loop.
- Working across the length of loops from right to left, continue to pull the next loop of working yarn through the next loop on the Headband until you’ve pulled up 4 loops and have 2 loops remaining for the yarn end.
- You’ll work the second row in the same way as the first row, but working from left to right to pull up a loop of working yarn in each of the 4 loops on the Headband.
- For the third row, continue pulling up loops of the working yarn, this time working from right to left.
- Continue to pull up loops back and forth in rows across 4 loops until Headband measures about 19" (48 cm) from beginning.
- Finish your Headband
- Now you’ll need to finish off your loops. Drop the working yarn.
- Working in the same direction as the last row you made, pull the second loop through the first; pull the third loop through the second; pull the fourth through the third – and so on across to the end of the row.
- Now you’re back at the side with working yarn. Carefully snip the remaining loops off the working yarn tail. Pull working yarn through the last loop and knot.
- Carefully snip the remaining loops from each yarn tail. Just snip the loops off, don’t cut through the yarn! Pull each of the trimmed tails through the loops of the Headband to secure.
- Thread the blunt needle with the length of smooth yarn, and fold the Headband in half. Sew the beginning edge to ending edge to make Headband.
- Weave in ends.
JOANN HACK:
- This yarn is designed so that the loops stay in place. You can set the Scarf down at any point and the loops won’t come undone.
- SIZE:
- Finished Circumference About 22" (66 cm)
- Finished Height About 6 1/2" (16.5 cm)
DIRECTIONS:
- Set Up
- Pull out one end of yarn and count out 14 loops. You’ll be working on just 12 loops. This length of 12 loops will be the beginning of your Cowl, the other 2 loops are the beginning yarn tail and will be secured later.
- Lay this length of 14 loops onto a flat surface, with the end of the yarn on your lefthand side.
- Check to be sure that all loops are facing upwards and that the loops aren’t twisted.
- Make your Cowl
- Now you’ll be working in rows across the length of loops.
- The yarn that’s coming from the yarn ball is called the working yarn.
- Hold the working yarn behind the length of loops.
- With your thumb and index finger, reach through the first loop (14th loop from the end) on the beginning of your Cowl.
- Pull the next loop from the working yarn through the first loop.
- Working across the length of loops from right to left, continue to pull the next loop of working yarn through the next loop on the Cowl until you’ve pulled up 12 loops - and have 2 loops remaining for the yarn end.
- You’ll work the second row in the same way as the first row, but working from left to right to pull up a loop of working yarn in each of the 12 loops on the Cowl.
- For the third row, continue pulling up loops of the working yarn, this time working from right to left.
- Continue to pull up loops back and forth in rows across 12 loops until your Cowl measures about 22" (55 cm) from the beginning.
- Finish your Cowl
- Now you’ll need to finish off your loops. Drop the working yarn.
- Working in the same direction as the last row you made, pull the second loop through the first; pull the third loop through the second; pull the fourth through the third – and so on across to the end of the row.
- Now you’re back at the side with working yarn. Carefully snip the remaining loops off the working yarn tail. Pull working yarn through the last loop and knot.
- Carefully snip the remaining loops from each yarn tail. Just snip the loops off, don’t cut through the yarn. Pull each of the trimmed tails through the loops of the Cowl to secure.
- Thread the blunt needle with the length of smooth yarn, and fold Cowl in half. Sew the beginning edge to ending edge to make Cowl.
- Weave in ends.
- This yarn is designed so that the loops stay in place. You can set the Scarf down at any point and the loops won’t come undone.

Error in cowl pattern
The cowl pattern states that the finished height is approximately 6-1/2 inches.
In Step 1 in the directions it states to count out 14 loops, working on 12 loops. I followed the directions and the cowl was approximately 12 inches in height and ran out of yarn. I reworked the cowl starting with 8 loops, working 6 loops. The finished product looks like the photo.
