The fun to knit and really colorful all new Patches scarf and matching cowl are both knitted from a single knit kit which include our fabulous Lustrous skeins and a Spots cake as shown in the photos. You can however get just the cowl knit kit with a single Lustrous skein and a mini skein of the Spots yarn, see the kits HERE.
Both projects are "patched together", and the really exciting thing here is that, whichever way you wear them, different color blocks pop up even in the cowl knitted with a single skein as they are variegated, therefore they both are pretty darn exciting accessories, whichever one you choose~ NOTE: only the cowl kits sell separately.
Knit 3 squares for the cowl, 11 squares for the scarf in easy in stockinette and garter stitches. Knit whenever you have a little time on your hands, they do grow pretty fast with the sport weight yarn held together. Once finished, an added garter stitch border in the heavier yarn creates the rich contrasting detail which then gets connected with a crochet hook to the next square. It's easy and fun~
The scarf, slightly blocked measures 110" in length and 7" in width. The cowl measures 21" surround by 7" in height. The instructions are fully written, the cowl pattern is separated. For the scarf you get both patterns automatically in the kit.
