Scrappy Cowl

 My basket of scrap yarn has been over-flowing with odd bits of Caron Simply Soft from Oddball knitting. I needed to find a project that would utilize some of the yarn and help me to find the bottom of the basket.

When I saw this free cowl pattern, I knew it would put a sizeable dent in the pile of scrap yarn. I was not disappointed.

The arrangement of stitches makes an interesting texture and is reversible. The pattern calls for four repeats, but I only knit three because I did not want the cowl to be too bulky.

I'll definitely make another cowl from this pattern.

  7. Beautiful!! I love the cowl. It looks so colorful and warm. I know you will enjoy it this winter!

    I also love knitting basket bottom diving! I find the most amazing things on the bottom of my basket--lots of left-overs and lots of trinkets I had forgotten about too.

  10. I really like the idea of the cowl, it would be so cosy walking in the snow...

    And then I caught a glimpse of those socks, there's turquoise in there!!! And limey green I think...got to go back and find out.

    My most fav colors.

  15. I remembered seeing this post but did not realise it was from you - what a small world!
    Have just sent it to our sister Barbara. She loves knitting on circular needles and has as much yarn as Linda and I do fabric so she may well give this one a go.
    Thanks for sharing,
    Peggy
