As soon as Lion Brand Yarn’s new Cobblestone yarn<\/a><\/strong> arrived at my doorstep, I knew that I wanted to design a project with it. I was very impressed with the color palette available (12 different shades) and how each colorway is plied with a lighter contrast color (which you can see in the close-up picture below). This gives more depth to the yarn rather than just having a single color. Cobblestone is a worsted weight (level 4) 100% acrylic yarn, and the beautiful light pink “Misty Rose<\/em>” and light grey “Sphinx<\/em>” colorways jumped out at me. I thought it would be neat to combine them with a pure cream yarn such as Wool-Ease in “Fisherman” (which I worked with for my square in the Traveling Knit Afghan<\/strong><\/a>) since it could help tie all these different colorways together. I wanted to crochet a color-blocked cowl to show off all these beautiful shades!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I knew exactly which stitch I wanted to use: the Single Crochet Columns<\/strong> stitch! I used this beautiful stitch in the Accent Panel of my Camellia Tote Bag<\/a><\/strong>, and I immediately fell in love with the stitch because of its amazing texture and modern look. I started off by chaining 50 with my 4.5 mm Clover Amour hook<\/a><\/strong>. Starting in the second stitch from the hook, I worked a *single crochet, then skipped 1, chained 1* and repeated this process till the end of the row. You should end with a single crochet as the last stitch. For the second row, you chain 1, turn and work your first single crochet in the second stitch from the hook (which is the last single crochet of the previous row). Once again, you work single crochets across the row, skipping 1 and chaining 1 in between. Note that the single crochets should stack upon each other (you work each single crochet ontop of the single crochets from the previous row) and NOT in the chain gaps (this is unlike the granite\/moss stitch which is another favorite stitch of mine).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I worked each color block for 41 rows before switching to the next color! Take note of the instructions on how to switch yarn colors in the written pattern below. Don’t these three colorways look beautiful together? You will be working 8 color blocks in total!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you are finished crocheting all the color blocks, it will be time to seam your cowl together. Whip stitch the two ends together and you are done!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Cadence<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Note that I did the following color block order for this crocheted cowl: Yarn A, Yarn B, Yarn C, Yarn B, Yarn A, Yarn B, Yarn C, Yarn B<\/strong>. When you loop the cowl together as shown below, the pink blocks stack ontop of each other and the grey blocks stack ontop of each other. If you would like the color blocks to overlap (for example, one pink block stacks ontop of one grey block), then do the following order: Yarn A, Yarn B, Yarn A, Yarn B, Yarn C, Yarn B, Yarn C, Yarn B<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
