Comfy Cozy

 

I absolutely love the texture of back-loop-only (blo). Oh, how those ribbed rows flow! It is a bit more work, because reaching around the front loop can be a teensy inconvenient. But, there is a rhythm to it, and once you feel that flow, it is so worth it. 

Besides this fantastic ribbed texture, check out these gorgeous earthy colors! I like the names that the yarn company picked for the colors  (above, left to right): mushroom, cognac, biscuit. What this photo doesn't show is how luxurious these three pieces feel. Fantastic!

There is a beautiful shine to this acrylic yarn, and a luxurious smoothness that has naptime comfort all over it. I know acrylic yarn often gets a bad wrap, and sometimes that is justly so. But in this case, I have to give a pleasant thumbs up to acrylic done right.

The two pieces in mushroom and biscuit were made with two strands. The piece in cognac is just a single strand. The solid colors of these pieces makes for gorgeous stitch definition, which is all the more obvious with the blo technique. Seeing how beautiful this turned out, and how easy it was once I got the hang of it, makes me want to experiment more with blo. Perhaps alternate it with flo, and vary it every other row? Stay tuned! 😊

All three pieces have a good sturdy feel, and hold their shape beautifully. The double stranded scarves are significantly heavier, of course. But that does not reduce their comfort. In fact, it doubles it. 😍

Oh! Better watch out that they don't get mistaken for rolls of toilet paper. 😄

Aw, look how cute! They are like Mamma Bear, Papa Bear, and Baby Bear. 😍

Earth Tones + Ribbed Texture = Cozy Crochet
