Pattern: The Latte Cowl

Are you looking for a super quick pattern you can make in half an hour? Do you only have one skein of super bulky yarn? Do you want a fun and cute satisfying make? Then The Latte Cowl is perfect for you. 🙂 I was recently gifted some of the new Funfetti Yarn from Wool And The Gang. Let me tell ya. It is ahhh-mazing. Crazy Sexy Wool has always been one of my favorites, so when I was told there was going to be some new color options with cute sprinkles, I jumped at the chance to try it out! The colorway I was given is called “Latte”, hence the “Latte Cowl.” I hope you guys like it!

Make sure you are following me on Instagram and tag me in your finished cowls! I love to share your makes! 🙂

 

Materials:

  • 1 Skein of Wool And The Gang, Crazy Sexy Wool- Funfetti. Color used- Latte (87 yards)

Wool And The Gang New Wave Yarn

Being a crochet pattern designer, I’ve been able to try a bunch of different amazing yarns. I recently was sent some New Wave Yarn from Wool And The Gang to try out. You guys. This yarn is awesome! Here is a couple of reasons why.

  • It’s made from recycled plastic water bottles! Each ball of yarn contains 3 water bottles. How cool is that?!
  • Its stretchy and squishy, which makes it a breeze to work with!
  • Its light and soft which makes it perfect for garments and accessories (which are my fave!!)
  • It comes in a bunch of gorgeous colors! My bag is made from Duck Egg Blue but Im also loving the Mellow Mauve.
  • Its super easy to frog if you make a mistake! I missed a couple of stitches and had to pull out a row. No snagging or getting stuck!
  • The size! This bag is BIG! I do have a tendency to crochet on the loose side but still.. even if you crochet tighter, this bag is a decent size!

The kit I was sent is called The Shoreline Bag. It has a total of 15 recycled plastic water bottles in it! The texture of the yarn is almost net-like if you look real close. It’s nice and airy, perfect for summer beach days. I love that by just making this bag, its helping to reduce waste and save the oceans. 😉

I love the booklets the pattern comes in!

And if you are a knitter, you are in luck! They have a ton of cute knitting kits as well. Take a look here!

Will you be trying out some New Wave Yarn? 🙂
