Barber
Pole Cowl
Jennifer Raymond

Working through the back

loop and stranding the yarn
not in use—rather than
working over it as in tapes-
try crochet—yields a cowl

5½" high.

When working barber-pole stripes, do not
crochet over the carried strand. The color
not in use lies in strands at the back of the
work. This technique prevents the opposite
color from showing on the RS of the fabric.

Four fabulous projects that beat winter’s chill

KEYES SHAWL BY JOYCE LEWIS.

The lightweight body of this shawl
is worked in a Tunisian stitch with
a nonstandard return pass, and the
lace inserts are worked with a stan-
dard hook. The natural curvature and
the wide “wing tips” allow the shawl
to stay in place without pins or clips.
Yarn: SweetGeorgia Yarns Tough

So let’s get this out there: we are all shaped just a bit
differently. And no matter what size we are, we have

of us wears a piece of clothing just a bit differently.

create bespoke garments. Sounds fancy, doesn’t it? It
