Love it or hate it, Pantone has just announced their 2019 color of the year: 16-1546 Living Coral. Personally, I love it! My own closet is full of black and gray. Coral is that perfect pop of color against a background of neutrals.
We happen to have varying shades of coral in many of our yarn lines. A lot of them are spot on to Pantone’s specific coral pick. Here’s a sampling:

Anyway. Coral. It’s so fun and vibrant. It makes me happy because I have a few designs coming down the pike for spring that incorporate this color, and I can’t wait to share them with you. But in the meantime, let’s look at some other coral-y goodness.

And of course, you can crochet or knit anything you want in coral or any other color! If you’re thinking you’d like to start with a pop of coral rather than using it all-over in a project, how about the Citron Scarf in Cottonwood? You could crochet the body of the scarf in a neutral, and add color 41107 Monica (coral) as the fringe?
