HURLEY'S NUMBERS
by Elisabet Vilaplana This is the crocheted version of the knitted cowl Hurley by Nora Swisher. It is inspired by the infamous numbers that appear in the TV series LOST. This cowl is worked in spiral, so I highly recommend to place a marker in the first stitch of every row. I also recommend placing markers in stitches 5, 13, 28, 44 and 67 during the first few rows to easily know where to change from blosc to flosc.
