The Yarn For an Ombre Cowl

For this design, I wanted to crochet a cowl that was warm and cozy, so I decided to use Homespun from Lion Brand. It is a 98% acyclic yarn that is beautiful to work up.

While it can be difficult to work up because of the twisted fibers, it is worth it to use because of how gorgeous it looks when finished in patterns.

The Yarn

To get the ombre look, I was going for with this cowl, I used Homespun Stripes New Look in the colorway First Blush. This yarn transitions from light pink to a darker pink flawlessly and is stunning. You could also use a skein of Homespun yarn too, and it would work just as well.

Check it out below!

Since this yarn changes colors itself, there are much fewer ends to weave in which is always a good thing when crocheting.

If you only have the original Homespun yarn on hand, that would perfectly too with this neck warmer design. There are a quite a bit of colors to pick from.

While some original colorways don’t have stripes, there are some that do so you will have a good variety to pick from for your cowl.

The Stitches for an Ombre Cowl

As for the crochet stitches, you’ll need to know for this cowl; they are all easy to learn! If you can single crochet and double crochet, then you can make this neck warmer easily.

In my opinion, this is a beginner-friendly design that any skill level of crocheter can enjoy. Learn more about this basic crochet stitches below.
