Simple Color Block Cowl – Free Crochet Pattern
I’m so excited to share my last contribution for the 2018 Holiday Stashdown CAL! If you are not familiar with the Holiday Stashdown CAL, you can find more information about it here! This Simple Color Block Cowl is the perfect stashbuster project! You can use leftovers of any chunky yarn you have to create a stylish cowl. I hope you enjoy the pattern. Just scroll down below for the instructions 🙂 Happy Crocheting!
This post contains affiliate links. I do receive a commission if you make a purchase through my link(s), which helps support my blog and allows me to bring you more great posts! I also received complimentary yarn from LoveKnitting/LoveCrochet to be used in my design. I was not financially compensated to use this products in my post.
I love this cowl because you can use any chunky yarn you have in your stash! I used some beautiful Paintbox Simply Chunky that was provided to me by LoveCrochet. This yarn was so great to work with. It is soft and makes for a very cozy cowl. The colors are all gorgeous. I particularly liked my color combination. The yarn glided along my hook with ease and did not split at all which you would normally see with some chunky yarns. I really loved working with my Paintbox yarns and can’t wait to order some more!
