What kind of scarves or cowls do you prefer? Regular thin scarf? Regular wide scarf? Long, thin cowl? Short, fat cowl? Personally, I don't like feeling like I'm going to choke on anything semi tight on my neck so I don't wear scarves often but I do enjoy making them for others. The few that I have made for myself tend to be long and thin. One thing I did learn when my girls were little though is that a wide cowl made a really fun wrap for young girls. My girls would pull the cowl down over their shoulders and it was great for keeping their arms warm while wearing short sleeve dresses. Kind of a fun use for cowls! Something that I don't like about typical cowls is how they can be to wide and sit to close to my chin unless you use a drape-y yarn. The infinity style cowl helps solve that issue since you twist the foundation once and it creates sort of a V dip in the body of the cowl. To me, it just seems to help control the shape of the project a little better.

Over the years, you'll learn a large variety of crochet stitches that will offer similar end results and be named a variety of things. The Bobble crochet stitch is one that, texture wise, is similar to the Popcorn stitch and the puff stitch. How you work each individual stitch is different but all produce a fun burst of texture that is great for a variety of crochet projects. I've used the Bobble stitch in a variety of crochet projects and a handful of patterns. There were probably times in the past that I called it the Puff stitch because it creates a puff of yarn sitting on top of your project. It wouldn't have been intentional to through anyone off but more of trying to describe the results. Since I've started creating video tutorials to help with special stitches in my patterns and posting them on my YouTube Channel, I figured I'd better clear the air on this stitch. It's easy to work and honestly has a fun texture so it's always a good stitch to have in your back pocket when you want to add a little something extra.
