diamond crochet cowl ~ pattern review

Several months ago I attempted to make Moogly's Diamond Crochet Cowl.  It is a beautiful cowl done in Front Post Treble Crochet Two Together (fptc2tog).  I couldn't get the pattern to work for me, got frustrated with it and frogged it. At the time I attempted it, she hadn't made a video yet.  So glad that she did; it really helped me a great deal.  Especially the end join of the round.

I am very happy to say that I have tried again with great success!!  I watched the video that was made and double checked all of my work and I am truly loving the results.  I wouldn't recommend this pattern for a beginner but would recommend it to anyone with a little more experience.  I used Red Heart with Love yarn.  I am very pleased with the way the cowl came out but not with the yarn.  I washed it and discovered that it "pilled up" on me.  I have another one started, this time I am using Cascade merino wool and acrylic blend.  It is a worsted weight yarn but isn't quite as heavy as the Red Heart and is working up nicely.  

You can view the video here:

Half way done.

And you can find the pattern here ~  the link is in the pic of the finished cowl.  I hope that you enjoy making this cowl as much as I did.  Thank you Moogly for another great FREE pattern :-)
