Scrappy Bias Cowl – Free Knitting Pattern
Scrappy Bias Cowl – Free Knitting Pattern
I can’t get enough of scrap-busting! All this month I’ve been working on scrap knit and crochet projects, and have actually made a big dent in my scrap bag! Earlier this month I released the Scrappy Bias Scarf, and that came out so nice I figured a cowl was in order.
It really is an easy cowl, the hardest part might be seaming the ends together if you’ve never done it before. Weaving in tails is a bit daunting, so I really recommend weaving in a few here and there as you go along and don’t save it all for the end. If you are doing just one or a few colors, your cowl will knit up lickety split!
You’ll be holding two strands of yarn throughout the entire project, which means your cowl will be thick and cozy. Have fun playing with color! Changing out just one color at a time gives a really cool marling effect.
I can’t wait to see what yours looks like – don’t forget to share pictures!
