Textured Stripe Scrappy Neckwarmer

Whether it’s leftovers from a gnome or a dozen pairs of socks, we’ve all got more fingering weight scraps than we know what to do with! (Except scrappy blanket knitters. You’ve got this sorted.)

This pattern is designed to be easy to knit because you only ever use 1 colour per round. It’s also designed to use even small amounts of leftovers, as you’ll be picking a new pair of colours each repeat. Guidance is provided for approximate use of each colour per stripe to help you maximize leftover usage.

A Note On Colours

You can use a single colour for C1 or C2 and scraps for the opposite, use a gradient for each, or scrap it up and have no repeats, etc. I used a 5-mini set for the adult size, but I cannot in good conscience recommend that as I was inches away from running out a few times. So I’d say a 6-mini set would give you breathing room.
