I was holding onto this gorgeous skein of yarn from Yarn Baby LLC for ages, waiting for the perfect pattern to come to me - and for spring! Now it's ready, and I present the Splash of Spring Cowl!

One Skein Crochet Pattern
The Splash of Spring Cowl is made with a yummy hank of worsted weight merino and bamboo blend yarn from Yarn Baby LLC, in the Spring Splash colorway. It's SO soft, and the bamboo gives it gorgeous drape. Variegated yarns like this usually require simpler stitch patterns, and I think I found the perfect one for this lovely one skein project!

FSC - Foundation Single Crochet
CSDC - Chainless Starting Double Crochet
Notes:
This pattern is written with standard stitches, but for a cleaner look you can use the CSDC instead (tutorial link above). To replace the Ch 4 in Round 2, use a CSDC and ch 1, and to replace the Ch 3 in Round 3, use a CSDC. If you would prefer to avoid the FSC, you can ch 93, skip the first ch and sc in the remaining sts, and then join to work in the round.

I love this yarn! I am a little confused in the pattern when you say to join with a sl st in the first st of the round. Do you mean the top of the beg chain 3 or in the bottom of the chain 3? Thxs
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Danielle! Thank you! You should join in the top of the first st of the round - whether that's a FSC or the top of the first sc, if you don't like foundation stitches. 🙂

Love the colorway! Pinned.
Chiara says
On the very last round, 23, am I doing the the seamless join from the last dc in the ch sp into the first sc? Or do I skip over the two sc stitches and join into the first dc?
Tamara Kelly says
It doesn't really matter, as you don't need to maintain a stitch count for a next round! 🙂 Whichever you believe looks better in this instance with your yarn.
