THE CHROMA BEANIE AND COWL SET

Who doesn’t love a pattern set?

Today, I am going to share with you 2 patterns! Yes, that’s correct — 2 patterns in one post!

The Chroma Beanie & Cowl is a great set and is perfect for this cold wintertime! This set was made using the Chroma Twist Worsted Weight in Lupine yarn that We Crochet sent to me. This color-transitioning 2-ply twist yarn is such a great yarn perfect for any project like this beanie and cowl that we are going to talk about today! Also, this yarn is a blend of superwash wool and nylon which is absolutely great for cold weather.

Since we have 2 patterns, let’s begin with The Chroma Beanie pattern first!

This pattern is FREE here but you can also purchase the inexpensive PDF file on my Ravelry shop for easy printing and reading.  Purchasing the PDF file helps to support my blog and allows me to continue to share my patterns with you.
