Caron Cake Craze
So I have seen many, many photos of you yarn collectors who also ran out to buy this fun yarn. Have you picked out a project yet? Don't let this one gather dust! It is such a dream to work with so grab your hooks and get busy!
Free Patterns ideas to get you started hooking your new yarn.
- Virus Shawl - this super popular shawl is perfect for the color changes in this soft yarn.
- Virus Blanket - another popular design is always popping up. Paid Pattern.
- Pineapple Peacock Shawl - see the example done by one of our Crochet Crowders.
- Mile A Minute Baby Afghan - just make your strips longer for a full-sized blanket.
- Squared Diamond Granny Throw - any granny design would be fun with this yarn.
- Road Trip Scarf - a fast and easy design to make.
- Chunky Ribbed Cowl - try a K hook with this yarn, a few more starting chains for this one, and you will get a nice drape on this cowl.
- Tranquil Waves Ripple Blanket - let the colors flow through this pretty project.
- Southern Diamonds Baby Blanket - beautiful stitches with diagrams to guide you along.
- Corner to Corner Puff Stitch Blanket - just a bit different than the usual C2C.
