This is such a great crocheted set.  I love how soft this yarn is, and the color goes with everything!  I’m using one of my favorite stitches too!  I love how the stitches look and how fun it is to make.

I’m thrilled to share this FREE pattern with you!  Don’t forget to share your version and tag me on Facebook MB Stitches and on Instagram MB_Stitches!!

I love the satin-y feel of the yarn I used for this project. It’s perfect!  The cowl and headband use almost exactly one skein!  I love not having a lot left over.  Maybe it’s the OCD in me!

You could also use Caron Simply Soft Heather Yarn and it would be beautiful too!
