Open Grande Cowl

Hi Everyone, today I am sharing my Open Grande Cowl crochet pattern with you. Looking for a quick, one skein project to use up that extra skein of yarn lying around the house, quick gift, something to keep you busy while waiting at the doctors office, or whatever the need maybe? Look no further, my Open Grande Cowl is quick and easy to stitch up. You can even make it for yourself or donate one to charity.

I enjoy making quick projects like this when I am getting ready for a show and have a list a mile or two long but need something to clear my head. Simple, mindless projects always help me re-charge and focus on the task at hand. Once I have finished my quick projects I save them for my Charity, Crafting A Rainbow Of Hope. What do you like working on when your schedule is hectic? Do you keep them or donate them? Enjoy!
