It's so fun to crochet!
It is simple and quick to work. The technique with different stitches creates textures that are completely different than knitted fabrics.
This yarn is purchased from my LYS, Svalan. The yarn is made of mulberry silk and merino wool, 100g/230m, and it's handdyed.
The yarn is very suitable for crochet.
One skein is enough to make the nice cowl 'Lisa'.
Here are links to the technique so that everyone can make it.
With crochet hook 5mm (US H/8, UK 6), ch 210 stitches. Being careful not to twist your base chain, join into a loop by slip stitching into the first chain made.
Row 1: Ch 1, sc into each ch, sc into the sl st. End the row with a sl st into the first sc.
Row 2: Ch 4 = the first dc, 1 dc into each of next 2 sc, *ch 3, skip 3 sc, 1 dc into each of next 3 sc*, rep ** to last 3 sc, ch 3. End the row with a sl st into the 4th ch of the first dc.
Row 3-20: Sl st into each of next 2 dc, sl st in the next ch, ch 4 = the first dc, 1 dc into each of next 2 ch, *ch 3, skip 3 dc, 1 dc into each of next 3 ch*, rep ** to last 3 dc, ch 3.
End the row with a sl st into the 4th ch of the first dc.
Row 21: Ch 1, 1 sc into each dc and ch. End the row with a sl st into the first sc.
Cut the yarn about six inches from the work. Draw the end through the last loop on the hook and pull tight. Weave in ends. Ready to wear!
The following pictures show the end and the beginning of the dc rows.

The name of this pattern is 'Lisa'.
