This Bobbles of Fun Cowl Crochet Pattern is a great pattern for the new Caron x Pantone yarn! It used 2 skeins and works up super quick. Because it’s a category 5 weight yarn, I was able to finish this up in just one evening. This cowl is so warm. Since the cowl is long and narrow, it’s the perfect length to keep your neck and chest warm and still be able to pull up to cover your nose. You can bet I’ll be wearing this a lot during the cold mornings and evenings.

How do carry the bobble yarn when not using it?
I lay the yarn I’m carrying on top of the previous row and crochet right over it ?
Ok I’m a bit confused. It says 2 skeins of yarn needed….but there are several colors used for the stripes. Is the “2 skeins” only referring to the bobbles?
I was planning on one color for cowl with a contrasting color for bobbles. So 2 skeins main color?
Sorry if I’m totally missing something ?
Hi! It’s 2 skeins of the Caron X Pantone yarn, which has 5 colors included 🙂
I just cannot get the correct size for the small
I would run out of colour much sooner and i only have x2 skeins so cant go bigger. The width works out much shorter and would probably only fit over a toddlers head. Do you have the tension guide please?
