There are three major qualities that we expect from our crochet winter accessories. We want them to be warm, comfortable and stylish. Chunky yarn ticks all three boxes, so it’s no surprise that it’s getting more and more popular.
It’s soft and thick, so it works up fast – it’s a true pleasure to work with. Structural designs look even more dramatic when made with it, so it’s really great choice for scarves, cowls, beanies and mittens. Wide range of colors makes it easy to find palette you will love, so don’t hesitate and try it! Take a look at examples below to check the current trends and search for links to free patterns under the pictures.
