“Small things, by nature are whimsical … They’re just things for the pleasure of smallness.”
This American Life Podcast Ep. 687 ‘Small Things Considered’
Are you obsessed with mini-skeins? I think I’m getting that way! I often find myself thinking about mini-skeins and ways to use up these little morsels of yarn: taking a moment to knit on project a wee bit at a time, and taking delight in the way the colours play together, because I think that’s part of the whimsical joy of mini-skeins. You get to play with little bits of colour and perhaps put together shades that you wouldn’t usually combine, because hey, it’s just a few metres and it’s just for fun!
So, let’s choose some colourful mini-skeins together and get knitting a whimsical Choose Colour! Cowl.
Pattern includes full written instructions, ideas of how to organise your mini-skeins/leftover yarn, photographs, a schematic and has been tech-edited.
CONSTRUCTION
Choose Colour! is a cosy striped cowl worked side-to-side in the round to create a double-layered accessory. One side of the cowl features a textured panel which helps to blend the colours of the mini-skeins and the single-round striping of the yarns creates a wonderful fade effect.
