Lagertha Cowl crochet pattern

£3.00

Quantity

Lagertha is an elegantly simple, ribbed cowl with a braid. Worked in a two-row repeat, the plait is used to hide the joined edges and complete the cowl loop.

The small and medium sizes are made in one panel with one braid. The large cowl is made by joining two panels together with two separate braids.

The pattern is inspired by Lagertha, the best known Shield Maiden. Depicted in the Vikings tv show, Lagertha always went into battle with braided hair and her signature sea-blue shield.

This project uses most of the yarn, so I suggest you use unblocked gauge rather than making a tension square. 17.5 sts and 18 rows over 10cm/4" (unblocked). 16 sts and 18 rows over 10cm/4" (blocked) across repeats of Rows 2-3.

Postage and Packaging

You can read all about P&P here.

The P&P costs applied are very transparent. No additional costs are added on, you simply pay for the cost of packaging and the cost of postage. I don't offer free P&P because what that usually means is that the cost of P&P has been added to the cost of goods. I think it is better to assume that my customers aren't daft and would rather have transparent P&P costs than the pretence of 'Free P&P' with inflated prices on the items that they are buying.
