As always, this is a free crochet pattern and is available from Red Heart. Not only is this a great pattern but it uses a brand new yarn from Red Heart. We hope you love this crochet tutorial.
About Colorscape (this yarn has been discontinued):
Colorscape is a brand NEW yarn from Red Heart and one that is worth trying out. This is a soft medium weight yarn that you will fall in love with for the way it feels and the colors that you can pick from.
Colorscape is a 100% acrylic worsted weight (#4) yarn. With 187 yards per ball there are many options of what you can make. Recently I published TWO FREE patterns that use only one ball of Colorscape, you can find links below. One ball patterns are a great way to try out a new yarn to see if you like it, without the investment of a sweater or blanket.
