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.

Mardi Gras Cowl With Fleur de Lis Pin Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

Mardi Gras Cowl With Fleur De Lis 

Crochet Pattern

 By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

I totally Love how this Cowl Pattern turned out.

 I Love the deep shades of the yarn, 

and the texture of the yarn as well.

 I used Red Heart With Love to design 

the Mardi Gras Cowl with Fleur de Lis Pin.

The yarn is soft, but has enough texture

 to hold it's shape.

I decided to make the Fleur de Lis  as a pin, so I could

 take it off and wear it separate on a sweater or jacket. 

As well as, wear the cowl without the in pin if I want to.

This Crochet Pattern is a cowl, but the easy stripes can

 be made as long as you wish, so it can be 

easily made into a scarf or longer cowl.

Since they are saying it is going to be cold February,

 it is the perfect touch for any Mardi Gras party.

Random Christmas Cowl Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

Random Christmas Cowl And Scarf

Crochet Pattern

By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

I had been working on some

 fun Christmas gifts using Christmas yarns.

 I am done! Woo Hoo!

But, I had several 1/2 balls or less, of Christmas yarns left over.

So What better item to make with them, then a fun, 

easy, and quick Christmas Cowl for myself.

I used all Med (4) yarns, of several different brands,

And 2 strands of yarn.

You can also use Funfur, or 1 strand of (5 or 6) Weight yarn.

I Named this Cowl Design "Random Christmas Cowl"

 because I randomly chose the colors from my yarn basket of 

Left over Christmas yarns.

The Cowl is designed to be 36 inches around,

 But you can make it as long as want.

It is 6 inches wide, 

which I think, is the perfect width.

Christmas Cowl of Leftovers

Christmas Cowl of Leftovers
By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

I was going through my plastic tub of Christmas yarn.

 I have several balls of yarn leftovers  from various Christmas projects. And as I played with them, I thought, "Oh this one
 or that one would make a nice Christmas cowl".

Some are Sparkly, some are furry, some are plain. 

I love all sorts of textures and colors of yarn.

Then I thought, "I'll crochet a cowl with them all!"

So I did.

I LOVE IT!!!!

So here is what I did.

You need to think more like an artist on this project. Relax and let your creative juices flow.

And although, This Cowl is designed with Christmas Yarns, you can make this with any yarn leftovers you have on hand.

See The Video on my Youtube Channel at This LINK

Okay, lets get started!

This Cowl is stitched in rounds.

I will not be giving the yarn color changes.

as I just used up what I had, and changed colors, 
when I ran out of each color.
