There will be leftovers no matter what project you finish, and this pattern is the 7th in a series that uses scrap yarn in a specific quality. In this pattern I have chosen to use scraps of Drops Air, with a gauge of 18/ 10 cm in garter stitch. The garment is worked from one side to the other, using short rows at the beginning and the end to shape it slightly over the shoulders. After knitting a bit of length towards the middle, the piece is divided into a back piece and a front piece, then rejoined once the neck opening is shaped. Stitches are picked up to create a neckline in regular ribbing, and an icord edge is added to frame the garment. Garter stitch can stretch somewhat during wear and washing, and the icord edge helps to limit this stretching. For the prototype I joined various lengths of yarn into a single ball beforehand, resulting in a random striped effect. Alternatively it can be worked in a repeating stripe pattern or in blocks of color.
