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.

Striped Velvet Cowl Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

 Striped Velvet Cowl Crochet Pattern

By Sara Sach of  Posh Pooch Designs

The Striped Velvet Cowl is designed to

 match the Velvet Stocking Hat

You can find it at This LINK

I really like this Velvet Yarn From Hobby Lobby, 

called Velvety Smooth. It is smooth and easy to crochet

 with, but also it is a medium (4) so any pattern written

 for medium (4) Yarns will work with this yarn.

The Velvet Cowl is a lot of fun to stitch up. 

Do not be intimidated By Velvet Yarns. The key

 to working with them is to loosen your tension

 up just a little.

And it's perfect For the guys And the girls! 

The Pattern is easy, because it is stitched in basic

 stitches but we placed it at Easy to Moderate

 because of the velvet yarn.

The Cowl is stitched up with Double Crochet Stitches, 

so it is easy and fast to make. The Cowl or Hat and Cowl Set make lovely last minute Christmas Gifts.

# 6 Christmas in July Free Pattern - Christmas Candy Cowl Knitting Pattern

I didn't want to leave out 

my friends who knit,

So I designed one of the

 Free Patterns for Christmas in July 2015, 

A Knitting Pattern.

Christmas Candy Cowl Knitting Pattern

It is similar to the 

Candy Cane Scarf Crochet Pattern, 

It is a stair step scarf, 

with Candy cane stripes

 and has green trim.

 I made this a cowl, 

But you can continue 

on with the pattern, 

and make it as long as you want.

If you are looking for these buttons,

I found them in the 

scrap booking department

 at my local Hobby Lobby.

They came in a package

 of 2, red, 2 white, 2 green.

and they are super glittery.
