The Yarn & Supplies
For this cowl design, I used Lion Brand Feels like Heaven yarn. It is a lightweight three weight yarn that is 100% nylon, which means it is machine washable and dryable.
Not only is this yarn easy to clean, it is extremely soft and has great drape! The skein size I used was 246 yards, and I only needed less than two to complete this cowl.
I decided on using the color Dusty Pink (see above) because it is a delicate shade of a soft light pink that would be perfect for Springtime.
If you’d like to make a cowl in a different color, choose from seven beautiful yarn colors, which means you’ll be able to crochet the perfect cowl for you!
To complete this cowl, you’ll also need a few other crochet tools as well as the yarn mentioned above. First up is a 4.5 mm (7) crochet hook. I always recommended the Tulip brand since they are great for arthritic hands and glide easily over yarn.
You’ll also need a yarn needle to weave in ends, measuring tape and a nice pair of scissors to cut the yarn.
- 4.5 mm crochet hook
- Yarn needle
