What to do with all those little bits and pieces? Just make a scarf/cowl in a beautiful, but easy stitch, on large needles, so ready before you know it.

The pattern is very easy; the cowl is knitted in the round in a 2-round pattern, but because of an odd number of stitches, it just goes on and on without thinking which round you are working!

Seed stitch is explained in the pattern/tutorial, as is the joining of new strands.
