Sherbet Crochet Cowl

Add this pattern to your Ravelry Queue and Favorites

The Sherbet Crochet Cowl is one of those designs that was dictated by the yarn. This yarn was screaming at me to make something with it..so the night before I was scheduled to shoot my Mitten and Gloves Galore Craftsy.com class I did!

It became a cute neck accessory for me to wear and I LOVED IT!
