Triforce Cowl ~ Free Knit Pattern

First pattern of 2018! This is a very basic cowl, the triforce motif is the real design in this piece. If you are not aware of what the 'triforce' is, then you're probably not a Zelda fan(one of my favorite video game series). The triforce is the main source of power and what the good and bad are seeking in most of the games. The 3 triangles represent power, wisdom and courage. I would suggest checking them out!


Originally i wanted to post only the chart but it seems like Ravelry has stricter restrictions on charts nowadays, so i decided to write the pattern to this cowl and post it that way. With that said, my intention was to make the chart accessible so anyone could use it on anything. It would make an awesome baby blanket for example, or on finger-less mitts(which i'm tempted on doing).

New Year, New Blog!

It's been quite a while since i've posted something new. I took some time to browse my last posts and they make me so happy and a little sad as well, that it stopped so suddenly. My videos have also taken a break until more recently(check out my YT channel for anything new). Things got left at a standstill once my son was born, so it's been about 2 years ~ he turns 2 in April. That seems impossible, it's really true that time flies! Now that i have a very busy and curios toddler to look after and share my time with, i probably won't be posting my current wips or videos as i once did. However this year i plan to focus on writing patterns or coming up with new techniques/ideas which i will be sharing here. My goal is one a month, so hoping that 12 this year will be the minimum! I have my first design, a motif inspired by one of my favorite game series, almost ready to go(it will be free and posted in Ravelry apart from posting here as well). Look for that in the near future! :)
