[@aubriepresby3648]

Man I love this bind off and the finish look. Glad I haven’t finished mine yet cause I am doing this instead of the regular bind off for the cowl. Thank you so very much ❤😂😮😊

[@MarlyBird]

Be careful using it on the game day cowl as that one is shorter than this one so your neck opening might be too small.

[@aubriepresby3648]

I was checking that out thank you. I will go and get your pattern. It is truly beautiful and amazing

[@lizv.418]

Marly, this is such a great way to finish this gorgeous cowl. You always give the best teqniques & excellent instructions!!🤗❤

[@KathleenBurns-qy3qi]

Yes, crochet hooks and I are not friends. But this if I watched it enough times I might get it! I made this pattern and want to make it into a regular cowl. Can I use this technique to do that?

[@MarlyBird]

Yes

[@arenee7527]

Love that crochet hook. Where did you get it?

[@MarlyBird]

Leitherco

[@lorrainekrahn4498]

Well, ooops! I didn’t watch this and put my cowl together into hand like a regular cowl

[@MarlyBird]

The game day cowl was supposed to be seamed in a circle :)
