This mini-skein set was meant to be used together and I thought a lovely cowl was just the thing. I wanted simple stripes to show off all of the beautiful colors, plus an added section of lace with little houses in it. This year of 2020 has had a lot of us at home, and I wanted to showcase the times with this row of houses. No matter what we can always take a walk around the block.

This cowl is knit in the round as a tube. Starting with a provisional cast one and ending with live stitches. Once cowl is blocked, add a twist and Kitchener lives sts to provisional cast on to complete the möbius loop.

You will be using most of C1-C4, to do this you will need to use a kitchen/yarn scale to weigh your yarn. C5 and C6 you will use about half of the yardage of these colors, so if you would like a longer cowl, adding to those sections with more knit rounds will add length.

Yarn:
Any 6 skein fingering mini set will work for this cowl, 90 yds per color. Or use up some of your scraps.
