Love the Moss Stitch Mittens? Crochet a Matching Cowl and Hat!
The Cookies and Cream patterns just scream “cream filled cookies” don’t they!? The moss stitch in this pattern creates a subtle but beautiful and modern texture, and it is a very forgiving stitch when it comes to working with darker yarns. If you selected some darker colorways of Lion Brand Scarfie yarn for this event, the Cookies and Cream Mittens would be a good one to use it with! And then if you fall in love (as I suspect you will) you can go right on to making the Cowl from my 2017 collection and the Cookies and Cream Hat that I posted as a Seven Days of Scarfie teaser pattern this summer.
