Fringed Colorado Homespun Cowl Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Desgisn

Fringed  Boucle' Cowl
 Crochet Pattern
By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs


Fringed Homespun Cowl Crochet Pattern - 
A Beginner Pattern for Working with 
Homespun Style Yarns.
I was given this beautiful Sky Blue Yarn,  
and thought it would make a lovely  Fringed Cowl.
 The yarn is Lionbrand Homespun.
The colors are Sky Blue and White.
The Applique is make with Worsted Weight (4)Yarn.

This simple pattern is a great way to use up some
 of the Homespun style yarn you have and don't
 know what to do with it.

This Cowl is made using Homespun Yarn, 
the colorway is Water Fall.

I love how the fringe fluffs out and gets a little fuzzy.
Because this yarn can be a little tricky to work with.
We Just retested and Updated this Crochet Pattern
 with a Photo Tutorial and a Brand New Video
