The Vanilla Marshmallow Chunky Cowl is a super cozy and squishy project that uses a combination of basic stitches and post stitches for maximum texture. Beautiful striping shows off the stitch pattern and a button closure gives the wearer maximum adjustability.

The inspiration for this scarf came from the yarn itself. The long color repeats of Urth Uneek Worsted created thin vertical stripes when crocheted over a longer field of stitches without pooling. The resulting sunset-like lines are pleasing for beginners and experienced crocheters alike as they master the linen stitch.

This collar sleeve has a subtle texture created using the spike stitch and single crochet, made with one cake of Lion Brand Mandala yarn. The pattern includes two sizes: a narrower overlay to cover a 0.5-1” wide pet collar and a wider overlay for a 1-1.5” wide pet collar. A great way to spruce up a dingy collar, the durable acrylic overlay works up quickly and can be made using scraps of any 3 weight yarn.
