This cowl is great for using up some of those mini skeins (or remnants) you’ve been collecting. Grab a few minis and a coordinating skein and whip up a comfy cozy cowl.

The pattern is written for one main colour plus five minis, but it’s easy to use more or fewer to make a cowl the perfect length for you.
