Yarnbits
If you're anything like me, you find it hard to part with even the tiniest scraps of leftover yarn from your knitting projects. Those bits of yarn may be too small to gift, but they're often too beautiful to throw away. This cowl pattern is the perfect solution for utilizing those medium-to-tiny remnants of fingering weight yarns, transforming them into a vibrant and squishy accessory that will keep you warm and showcase your creativity. The cowl is designed to be worked flat in a stunning large chevron pattern. It begins with a provisional cast-on, allowing for a seamless finish. Rows of stockinette stitch create a smooth background, while alternating rows of garter stitch add delightful pops of color throughout the piece. To finish, a 3-needle bind-off technique is used to join the ends of the cowl together, giving it a polished look. For an even more seamless finish, I highly recommend employing the Russian join technique or a similar method to covertly weave in your yarn ends as you work. This approach helps you eliminate the daunting task of weaving in what feels like hundreds of ends after you've completed your project.
Finished Size: 16” width x 35” circumference. Perfect for stylishly bundling up on cool days!
