This week’s free crochet pattern is the
Waves of Warmth Cowl
Thanks to our wonderful sponsor, Red Heart Yarns, for providing the yarn for this project: Boutique Unforgettable Waves. This yarn is a soft acrylic that comes in many rich and vibrant, blended color combinations. It’s a fun yarn to work with and has “thick and thin” sections combined to provide a lovely textured fabric. I loved working with this yarn and it works up quickly so you can wear your project right away!

I love this cowl. Do you think I can expand this into a poncho by increasing stitches with each additional row? I plan on using Red Heart Unforgettable, if you think this will work. Thanks for the lovely pattern!
It should work, however, I haven’t tried it to tell you where the increases would be.
Can this be made longer?
Yes.
