New for fall 2025 are the new, exclusive to Michaels, colourings of Caron Chunky Cupcakes. What's special about the colouring? Look at it. It's pretty addictive to watch the colours play themselves out.
The cool thing about this yarn is that there are 12 sequences of colouring order before the colour sequence repeats itself. Unlike long self-striping Caron Cakes, this one changes faster and has many more colours. Get the Crochet Slouchy Hat Pattern here.
While Mikey is not wearing this as a slouchy, you can style the back to droop down at the back and wear it as such as well. The pom pom is included with the yarn ball as well.
Crochet a beginner-level hat using Caron Chunky Cupcakes. The pom pom is included.
