Nice thing about shoulder cozies is that they can be worn wherever you need some warmth. Wear it over your head like a hood, around your neck like a cowl, or around your shoulders like a poncho. You’ll love how nicely this yarn blends in with your wardrobe adding interesting texture and romantic style.

Depending on your day, the weather or your mood, this cowl can also be worn as a hood up over your head or as a shoulder cozy down over your shoulders. The beautifully shaded yarn is thick-and-thin and adds interesting texture.

Choosing regal shades of blue, purple and jade turns the crochet granny square into a fashion statement. We used six shades of With Love, for a sweater coat that is fun and comfy to wear.

Inspired by a designer coat that was priced at over a thousand dollars, this coat takes the granny square from mundane to stunning! We used six shades of Super Saver in neutral shades, but you should feel free to experiment with your favorite colors.

This gorgeous color combination is based on one of the shades of Unforgettable with solid coordinating shades of Soft yarn. Granny squares are crocheted with softer yarn that has a bit of drape making this a comfortable to wear coat for sizes small to 3X.
