Leftovers Cowl

If you’re looking for the perfect project to utilize all those odds and ends of sock yarn you've collected over the years, this delightful cowl pattern is just what you need! It's also an excellent excuse to indulge in purchasing multiple mini-skeins of beautiful fingering weight yarn. You'll love how each piece of yarn adds a unique touch to your cowl.

This cowl project is specifically designed to be created in the round, starting with a provisional cast-on. This technique allows you to effortlessly graft the beginning stitches to the end stitches, resulting in a flawless tube. Alternatively, if you’d prefer a different style, you can transform this cowl into a lovely scarf by binding off each end separately—an ideal option for customization!

The cowl requires 1300 yards of Color A and 1300 yards of Color B, ensuring you can play with various shades and textures. The beautiful cowl showcased in our photos used 650 grams of leftover sock and fingering weight wool, as well as wool blend yarn, in a delightful array of vibrant colors.

If you're eager to start, we have suggested substitute yarns listed below for your convenience. Get ready to unleash your creativity and make a stunning cowl that showcases your yarn stash or new mini-skein purchases. Whether you’re an experienced knitter or a beginner, this project is sure to bring joy and a splash of color to your collection!
