Fruit Stripe Cowl Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

 Fruit Stripe Cowl Crochet Pattern
By Sara Sach of  Posh Pooch Designs

I Designed This simple But pretty Cowl 

crochet pattern about 7 years ago. I wanted to up date the

 pattern since the yarn I originally used was not available

any more.

It's a great way to use of of those striping yarns and cakes

 and make a lovely cowl. I decided to use Yarnspirations 

Caron Cakes in the colorway of Funfetti. It is a med (4) weight

 yarn and It's bright and colorful, exactly what I

 was looking for. 

If you do not have a cake or skein of yarn with color changes,

 that is fine because you can choose whatever color you prefer.

I decided to roll each of the 5 colors into a separate ball

so I could control the color changes. And I would be able to

 chose which colors I wanted to use for the tie.

It worked lovely into 5 even striped of color.

Whispering Pines Scarf Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

Whispering Pines Scarf 
Crochet Pattern
 By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

I purchased 2 rolls of the yarn, Sweet Roll Wasabi Pop,

 and took it with me when we went on a 4 Wheel drive,
 up into the Rocky Mountains. 

The Yarn reminded me of all the different colors

 of the pine trees. The Pinion Pines, 

the Blue Spruce Pines and the Ponderosa Pines
 and many others.

I designed This scarf with the pines of 
The Rocky Mountains as my inspiration.
I Love how beautiful it turned out.
And although it looks complicated, it is really quite simple.

I named it The Whispering Pines Scarf because I love 
the sound  the Pines make, when there is a slight breeze "whispering" thorough the branches.
