As someone with super short hair, when the weather turns my neck gets cold. Or at least it’s the place where drafts sneak in. If I don’t have something on my neck, you can pretty well guarantee I’m going to be a popsicle. So when I was presented with 1 ball each of white, black & gray Urban Glam Graffiti, which individually the colors didn’t have enough yardage to make much of anything, I had to figure out a way to combine them. My popsicle self made it a no-brainer - it had to be something for my neck.

This is a great stash buster if you have 65 ish yards of a few colors of super bulky yarn. Or if you have shorter bits of more colors, use those for the striped background and one color for the scales.
