Crescent Butterfly Shawl
The Crescent Butterfly Shawl is the 9th butterfly shawl crocheted in the series. I've been waiting to use this black, gray and white 1000 meter yarn cake for just the right design and I believe I found it! This butterfly shawl is made using an easy repeat just like all the others, though a touch is needed every 10 rows once you start your repeat row. I was limited only by the 1000 meter skein but this design can reach any size you desire by just repeating the pattern repeat.

Cluster Stitch Cowl Crochet Pattern
I love keeping cozy on a frosty winter day. That's why there's nothing better than a good winter cowl. This particular crochet cowl pattern is fun and super warm. It's stitched up using the beautiful cluster stitch. The cluster stitch adds a lot of texture and mixed with the acrylic wool blend of a plymouth hot cake, the stitches really pop. The yarn is soft and easy to care for, being that it's machine washable. It can be tossed in the dryer too if you're in a rush! Every hot cake comes with a built in color shift. This particular cowl is to be worked in the denim mix which has various shades of blues with cream.
