When I  announced the Christmas Present Crochet-Along (that starts July 6th, 2015), many of you wanted to know if I would release a supply list early. I want to give everyone plenty of time to get the suggested yarn (if that’s you preference) or whatever materials you decide to use!

Our first CAL project will be a cowl. I told you before that I used the yarn that Red Heart sent to me (Go Red Heart!) which I thought would be perfect for our first event!
So….Here’s what you’ll need:

1. Red Heart Infinity Yarn, 3.5 oz/100 grams, 129 yards, #5 Bulky Yarn, Fiber Content:  69%Acrylic, 11% Wool, 10% Polyester,6%Nylon,4%Metallic – I used 1 skein for this project.
2. Hook – N/10.0
3. Tapestry Needle for weaving in the ends.

Here is an affiliate link to the yarn should you decide to buy it.

But….if you are trying to use what is in your stash, no worries.  This cowl will be really easy to change-up your hook size, type of yarn, etc.  I will actually give you suggestions on how to change it up!  Depending on the size of your cowl/scarf, you’ll probably use anywhere from 200-400 yards of yarn should you choose worsted weight yarn!

Here’s a sneak peek!

Don’t forget that while it’s not required for the CAL, I’ve created an event in my ELK Studio Crocheter’s Facebook group so we would have a centralized location to chat about our projects, ask questions, show off our work….etc.!  Click HERE to join the group first then find the event tab at the top of the page within the group.

I hope you are as excited as I am to get started!
