Color Made Easy Yarn by Lion Brand is a gorgeous yarn, size 5 (bulky), and has a number of different gorgeous colors. It is surprisingly soft and light for a bulky yarn. After having discovered it earlier this year, I wanted to do a review and create a list of bulky crochet patterns that you could create something beautiful with this wonderful yarn!

I have truly fallen in love with using the Color Made Easy Yarn by Lion Brand , which you can find in Joann Fabric Stores , and some Etsy Sellers such as Anna’s Got Crochet and Smith Studio Knits have them marked down a little for destash. It is an amazing yarn, a true dream to work with, so soft and drapes beautifully while also having some vibrant colors and color combinations.

Two of Wands' Fireside Wrap great combinations like what she made and also can substitute the Huckleberry (dark blue) for the pomagrante or shade (light grey/silver) for basalt (darker grey).

Two of Wands' Skyline Bias Scarf is a long beautifully striped scarf and can be created with any number of colors.

Camexia Designs' Zendeya Inspired Wrap is gorgeous and such a wonderful wrap that can be created in so many colors or combination of colors to allow for a very versatile wardrobe.

Posh Patterns' Triangle Scarf with shell stitch that can be made in any yarn size and color.

Stitch and Hustle Hooded Scarf Pattern is an absolutely gorgeous shawl that also has a hood to it. Beautiful granny squares can be crafted using a number of color combinations, all to create a wonderful present to a loved one or yourself! This would go beautifully with contrasting colors such as a light to highlight the middle design and a darker outside color such as Pomegrante and Shade or Ultra Violet and Shade.

The Velvet Acorn The Lark Sweater beautiful, warm, and luxurious, this sweater comes in sizes from children all the way to adult XL. It is one pattern I am greatly looking forward to creating for myself in Huckleberry - a gorgeous dark blue!

Camexia Crochet Hooded Tunic this one I’m really excited about and will be creating it in the lovely Pomegrante - a deep, rich red but it could easily be done in a lighter blue like Kingfisher or Blue Moon, a silver like Shade or even Basalt, the pink of Pink Lemonade or even the vibrant purple of Ultra Violet.

Serendipty as Always Tegan Tunic is beautiful and can be used with chunky or bulky yarns with either a couple of colors or one solid color.

Luz Patterns Crochet Kimono Poncho Pattern looks to be amazing and a great pattern to work up quickly and use in many situations. You could use a combination of colors or make it in one solid color and you can create it from child size to adult. And this pattern has a wonderful feminine cut to it in a way that is still kimono without the full bulk of a poncho.

Crafty Intentions ' dragon, mermaid unicorn and more Amigurumi would be simply amazing using this bulky yarn.

She also has other dragons, mermaid unicorns, baby dragons, unicorns, butterflies, weather (sun, clouds, moon, etc) patterns, cats, fish, and so many more.
