Mini-skeins are like knitting candy: bright, tiny, and addictive (also, they are hiding all over my house). Once you have one, you just have to get more. As a long time knitter, I have a sizable stash of mini-skeins that I’ve purchased, but also a hefty collection of leftover minis from previous knits. The Like Candy cowl was designed to use the littlest leftover bits and bobs of yarn from your knitting stash.
This pattern includes a complete yardage breakdown of all the brightly colored stripes and rows of hearts, so that you can plan your cowl to fit your stash. Use 2 colors, 12, or 24. Unleash your sweet tooth, and just have fun!
Worked SEAMLESSLY from the top down, it knits up quickly (like any good cowl should), but wears like a hassle-free shawl. Unlike traditional tube cowls that rumple into a pile of knitting around your neck, this shawl-shaped construction lets your knitting shine by creating a triangular front and shortened back. The shape is wonderful, wearable, and just plain fun to knit.
This Cowl Includes:
- Top-Down, Seamless Construction
- Shawl-Shaped Wearability
- Simple, Easy-to-Memorize Colorwork
- Charts & Written Instructions (even for the colorwork)
- Endless Stash-Busting Opportunities
