6 Faux Fur Patterns: Discover the Season’s Hottest Trend

December 14th, 2011 by Brandyce

If you look around at the winter accessories and knitwear in the stores right now, you’ll probably notice a lot of faux fur.  Faux fur is a big trend for this winter season, and lucky for you, you can knit or crochet the beautiful items you see in the stores. Faux fur designs are stylish, cozy and luxurious (and animal friendly!); below are some lovely patterns highlighting faux fur designs you’ll want to have for years to come.

Knit Fur Luxe Neck Warmer Wool Ease Thick & Quick, Fun Fur	Knit Cushy Fur Cowl Fun Fur
Cushy Crochet Cowl Luxe Fur	Glamorous Furry Scarf Vanna’s Glamour, Fun Fur

Faux fur yarn might look intimidating when wrapped in a skein, but it can work up into some beautiful pieces. I’ve actually knit a cowl in Wool Ease Chunky (Fisherman) and paired it with a Luxe Fur (Camel) trim and it’s super warm and cute! Will you be adding any faux fur to your pieces this winter?
