Cross My Heart Cowl Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs


Cross My Heart Cowl Crochet Pattern
Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs


This Cowl is intended to be thin and short.
It is super easy to adjust the width and the length,
if you would like to.
It is designed with Caron Pantone which is a wonderful
 yarn for this project.
But, You can use any med (4) yarn You like.
It only takes 3.5 oz, so it's a great project to use up a single
 cake or skein of yarn.

Caron Pantone Yarn Review and A Cowl Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

Caron Pantone Yarn Review and
 A Cowl Crochet Pattern 
By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

See The Video on My Youtube Crochet Channel At This LINK



If you Search,
" What is 
Caron 
Pantone 
Yarn?" 
This is
 the Definition
 That Comes up.

"Caron® x Pantone™ is a luxuriously soft yarn in a unique braid put up, with stunning color palettes specially selected by color experts at Caron® in collaboration with 
Pantone®. Get creative with color and use your 
5 separated links of yarn in endless combinations to make a
 pattern unique to you."



Here are my thoughts:

1. The Yarn is very soft and easy to work with.
 It slides nicely over my crochet hook and I enjoyed
 crocheting with it.

2. The colorways are bright and Vivid. 

Most of the color combination are to my liking. 
There are a few that I would not chose, but that
 is just my preference.

3. The Yarn is 5 different colors of yarn, 

and 5 separate links of yarn, 
So you will need to join the yarn links together.
This is not pleasing to me, but not a great big deal.

4. The yarn is not spun tightly. 

It is several strings of yarn held together,but not twisted,
 and can be a little splitty.

5. The Bundle has a total of 3.5 oz/ 127 yards

So not a lot to work with, so you will need a 
couple skeins for most projects.

6. The Yarn is 60% Acrylic, 20% Nylon, 20% Merino Wool

I like this combination, you get strength, softness and warmth.

7. I purchased the first Caron Pantone from Michael's for $7.99.

  I did use my 40% off Coupon. It's a little more pricey 
for the amount, but use those coupons and save.

the yarn was my
