Last year I decided I wanted to knit a massive scarf, with a ton of different colorwork motifs, using scraps and leftovers from all the sock yarns I have used over the years. With a little help from a few friends for some extra colors, I gathered my yarns together and started the Leftovers Cowl by Wendy Johnson.
Without giving too much away, the pattern is a series of repeated charts. Partway through a friend asked me if I was going to incorporate any of my own charts into the design. What a great idea!
Eleven weeks later I was done.
I love your leftovers cow. I mostly love the birds.
Thank you so much! That was a chart that I found online and added.
Is there a pattern for this cowl?
Yes and no. The pattern is Leftovers Cowl by Wendy Johnson. However, I got bored repeating her charts and added some of my own. So bits and pieces of mine are different!
Where can I get the pattern? The digital version has been discontinued.
Unfortunately if the designer has chosen to make the pattern unavailable there isn’t much I can suggest. You could put together your own version. You might try looking up -peerie patterns (charts of small repeating patterns from the Shetland islands).
