Midnight Sparkle Cowl Crochet Pattern And A Yarn Review

The Gina Sparkle Cowl

Crochet Pattern 

By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

We Decided To Update This Crochet Pattern with a Brand New Name, because the Yarn previously used was no longer available.

I named it After my Sister, Gina, as she is the most Sparkly person I know! And it reminds me of her.

Red Heart Boutique Midnight- Aura was the yarn previously used. 

The yarn is soft and works up very smoothly.

 It is a Medium (4) 

It has a beautiful subtle striping  effect in jewel tones of Blues, purples and grays. 

And Also,  has a  silver sparkle running through it.

And you know I love Sparkle.

Here are some good yarn Choices with Sparkle/ Metallic in them.

 If you can not find these yarns, Any Med 4 yarn works, 

But Use one with a Metallic or Sparkle thread.

 It will add a nice touch of Sparkle.

ISAAC MIZRAHI Yarn Review and Free Cowl Crochet Pattern

I was shopping for some yarn at Micheal's 

for a couple of orders and walked past the 

ISAAC MIZRAHI Yarns 

By Premier Yarns

on an end cap.

I have to say I was not impressed at first glance.

They were interesting, but not practical to me.

I then saw the Lexington yarns.

They were big, fat chunky yarns and very, very soft.

I do love the chunky yarns

This one caught my eye with all the bright colors

 and random blotches of colors.

It is called Stuyvesant

I really enjoyed working with this yarn. 

I found it chunky and thick, but not difficult to crochet with. 

Some chunky yarns tend to get to thick and stiff when crocheted, 

This one did not do that.

So decided to make a cowl from this thick chunky yarn 

and am very pleased with the outcome.

I also, Found the cowl to be comfortable, not bulky.

It felt light to wear, while still being thick and warm.
