Caron Pantone Yarn Review and
 A Cowl Crochet Pattern

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.

This is my First Crochet Design specifically designed with the Caron Cakes Yarn in mind. And I absolutely love how it turned out.,
This lovely Scarf is designed using Caron Cakes yarn

 in Red Velvet. With rich shades of reds and grays, 

it is the perfect color choice.

It only takes 1 cake, 7.1 oz to crochet.

It is a Stair Step Scarf with a touch of chained Fringe.

Although, it is easy to crochet, it is a very elegant scarf to wear. As well as, being long and Classy.

I have a few more of the Caron cakes,

 I wonder if I should make some more?

Yes, I should!

Any worsted weight yarn will work for this scarf,

 but I  really like how the long variegated colors 

look for this scarf.

This is the perfect shawl to wear when the weather turns chilly.

 It is elegant and warm.

Wear it over a Fancy dress or with jeans and Sweater.

I called this design The Blessings Ombre Shawl

 because I am wearing this one

 for our Thanksgiving get together.
A time of sharing thankfulnes sand blessings.

The yarn I used is called

 Caron Simply Soft - Gold Ombre

I love the flow of the shades of Gold and Orange.

It reminds me of a goldfish with the reflection from the water
 shimmering on it. It is bright and Fallish.

I put the skill for this pattern at "Easy",

 because it is basically rows of repeat with increases.

And I think you will find it stitches up pretty fast.
