PLEAST NOTE: This pattern is exclusive to the Scratch Supply Co. Solstice box participants until December 21, 2021. If you purchase the pattern before that date, you will receive basic information about the pattern, but no pattern instructions or photos until December 21, 2021.

The SCRATCH SOLSTICE COWL was designed for Scratch Supply Co.’s 2021 Solstice Calendar, a special offering consisting of a full skein of undyed merino-yak fingering weight yarn and twenty-one 20 gram mini skeins dyed by three independent dyers. This pattern sought to highlight each of the deep and beautiful colorways in one accessory.

There are many combinations of colors that you can use to create your own, unique cowl from this pattern. Two options are written here for you, the Full Rainbow and the Select Six. Both use the undyed skein and either all the mini skeins in the set (“full rainbow”) or a selection of six mini skeins (“select six”). If neither of these appeals to you, use the charts to mix and match the colorways to your heart’s desire.
