Ruffles for Sophia

Laynie picked out yarn for Sophia when she was here visiting and requested a little cowl for Sophia to wear for her Christmas program.

I crocheted these by holding two strands doubled. Basically, I unrolled the entire skein of yarn, found the midpoint and cut. Then I stretched each strand open to make crocheting easier and rolled them back together to make one ball. I used a J hook and single crocheted through every 12 loops.

After completing the first cowl, I still had yarn so I made a second one, slightly smaller to use up every single inch. I sent them both thinking Sophia might like one for a dolly too.

This is novelty yarn and a little slow going.  However, seeing the joy on Sophia’s face made it all worth it. Laynie said she has been wearing it a lot and even puts one on her Moana doll. I consider them to be a successful finish.

  • I didn’t even know that “novelty yarn” was a thing! Great idea to make a dolly cowl too.

    Obviously, SoSo loves Starbucks when she gets a cup full of whipped cream. Obviously, she doesn’t get all of it in her tummy. It’s really bad when she finds whipped cream on her shoes???.

    She was the cutest one at the Christmas Program.
