Merak Hat and Cowl
Merak is one of the patterns in Colorful Crochet Knitwear, book by Sandra Gutierrez.
It will be released on April 12 but it’s available for preorder now. Find where to preorder and more information about the book HERE.
Merak (Serbian) – the pursuit of small, daily pleasures that all add up to a great sense of happiness and fulfillment.
Finding bliss in daily pleasures is a difficult task, but the Merak Cowl and Hat are a reminder of that; despite their very simple construction and motifs they create something beautiful and elaborate. The hat is worked top to bottom, starting with the crown and finishing with a faux i-cord edging at the end. The cowl sports similar faux i-cord edgings at both ends. Their body is worked fully in single row mosaic crochet, following two charts.
