Celosia by Alison Green

Craft: Crochet

Celosia begins with floral crochet motifs which are joined in the round. The edging is created with double crochet to make a shaped cowl perfect for every outfit. Crochet takes full advantage of the fun and bright colorways of Berroco Carousel.

The cowl can be made with Berroco Carousel alone, or in combination with Berroco Aerial to give it a soft halo effect.
