Some of you may remember that last year for Christmas I recieved some gorgeous merino wool from my sweet and thoughtful in-laws.
After a couple trial runs with other wools on my drop spindle, I felt comfortable trying to turn it into yarn.
I came up with a 2-ply DK weight, and the colors in the yarn reminded me a lot of Rapunzel's dress in the movie Tangled.
After several more months of thinking about what the perfect crochet or knit project for this yarn might be, I finally settled on this modern re-telling of Rapunzel's outfit: a cowl in the shape of a thick braid like the one she sometimes wears in her hair!
I chose a button with a sun-like shape because the symbol of Rapunzel's kindom in the movie is the sun.
What do you think? Is is fit for a modern Princess?

PS- If you would like to knit a version of this cowl, the pattern is now available in my Etsy and Ravelry shops!
