Warm Fuzzy Cowl Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

 Warm Fuzzy Cowl 

Crochet Pattern 

By Sara Sach of  Posh Pooch Designs

 The Warm Fuzzy Cowl is a simple tube design made

 form boucle yarn. "Boucle Yarn" is yarn looped or curled. 

I also call it bumpy yarn. It's usually a bulky 5 or

 Super bulky 6. 

This particular yarn can be hard and frustrating to work

 with, but once you figure it out, it makes 

absolutely lovely items, And well worth the effort.

This cowl Is an example of this.

The pattern it self, is a basic pattern, 

 it's the yarn that makes it so original. And you can

 stitch it up with just one skein of yarn.

It also stitches up fast, Because we are using triple stitches

 to form the wonderful texture.

The Yarn I used For The Warm Fuzzy Cowl

 is From Red Heart called Light And Lofty, 

Bikini is the name of the colorway.

It is A Bulky (6) and is similar to the Homespun by 

Lion Brand Yarns. If you do not have a "Boucle" style yarn, 

and Bulky (6) yarn will work for this project.

Super Nova Wrap Scarf Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

 Super Nova Wrap Scarf 

Crochet Pattern

 By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

It's A Super Scarf, A Wrap Shawl 

And Throw Blanket.

What is Boucle Yarn?

"Yarn With a looped or curled ply" 

1. 
   

 Crocheting with this Boucle yarn.

1. Choose a large project.  Do not try to make little 

intricate designs.

Most of the color variegation can not be seen with a small

project. I suggest scarves, throws, blankets and cowls.

2. Choose a project with very little detail. 

Most intricate detail is lost because of the bumpy and

fuzziness of the yarn.

3. Crochet loosely - It is better to be too lose then 

too tight with this type of yarn. It is hard to find the

stitches if you crochet too tightly, and just as hard to work

with if you are a tight stitcher.

4. Lastly, don't let the yarn frustrate you. 

Make a practice swatch, and study how to find your

stitches, and where to place your hook.

If you are struggling with it, set it down and come back later.

Examples of Boucle Yarn:

Homespun

Lion Brand Boucle

Lion Brand Textures

Bernat Pipsqueak

Country Loom

Red Heart Stellar

It is a thick boucle, so I made the pattern simple to crochet. 

But the end result is definitely not simple.

It's Classy, Warm and Comfy.

Although this yarn is a bulky 5, it is not heavy, 

and yet still very warm.
