Working with Bobbel / Gradient Yarn / Novelty Yarn: July Highlights 2020

Dear users, dear authors,
here you’ll find highlight projects for working with Bobbel, gradient yarn and novelty yarn. Have fun with them.

@Authors,
2-3 patterns per author are enough. Don’t forget links, images, info, etc.

A very special shawl is the crocheted shawl "Autumn Leaf". It has an unusual shape that is especially suitable for keeping your back warm. The autumn colors really come into their own here. I used a twisted yarn (Universe by hobbii) because I don't really like working with plied yarn. The strand is threaded throughout with a copper-colored glitter thread, giving the shawl a special touch of glamour.

This shawl was knitted using a summer yarn (Tahiti by Schachenmayr) and is meant to provide just a little protection from the sun and wind. A lovely accessory for balmy summer evenings

“Dragon Scale” Shawl Pattern



The “Dragon Scale” shawl is ideal for gradient bobble yarn. Thanks to the even pattern, even gradients with many color changes really stand out. The pattern itself lets you choose whether you’d prefer to crochet a deep or shallow shawl.

From one 400 g Bobbel (4-ply), you can crochet the top-down raglan dress Sagoromo .
If you only want to make the pullover, you’ll need 250 g of a Bobbel.

The PDF pattern consists of 5 pages and is suitable for advanced crocheters.

Yarn cakes and gradient yarns not only look great when knitted or crocheted, they are also exciting for the person doing the handcrafting. The colors come straight from the ball, and little by little the colors unfold. In the end, every piece is a little different and unique. Here are my suggestions for a few handmade projects with yarn cakes or gradient yarns.

I hope you enjoy looking at them and making them yourself.
Warm regards from Ina
