It’s time to get cute and cozy with the Glicka Beanie, a free crochet pattern with CoCo Crochet Lee and WeCrochet!
I am so excited to announce that I’ve teamed up with WeCrochet (the crochet offshoot of Knit Picks) as a Brand Ambassador! What does that mean for you? That means that WeCrochet is providing support so that I can bring you amazing free crochet patterns that you can enjoy!
The first step for me was to choose my first yarn to work with from the WeCrochet Site, www.crochet.com – and it was SO hard to choose! There are so many amazing choices, it was tough to settle on one and begin!
I went with the Chroma Twist Worsted yarn after reading about it on the site. Here’s what they say about this beautiful yarn!
“We’ve taken our beloved color-transitioning Chroma yarn and created a stunning 2-ply twist! Each yarn ply is individually dyed with the same classic Chroma colorway before being spun together. The result is a sturdy yet soft yarn with a thick-and-thin strand that mimics beautiful handspun yarn; no two skeins will ever be the same! Though Chroma Twist Worsted can be crocheted at a variety of gauges and densities, we recommend it for worsted weight projects crocheted at a more open gauge so that the soft fibers can bloom with blocking.
Chroma Twist Worsted is perfect for any project that needs a twist of color: hats and scarves, kid’s garments, home decor, and more! And because this yarn is blend of superwash wool and nylon, your projects will be machine washable too!”
