Notes

Stripey Fine doesn’t stripe when crocheting so I was having a hard time using it. When I just thought of it as variegated inspiration struck.

Resilience idea, but twice the length to be a double-able cowl.

Stripey Fine used throughout. Faded with green, blue, purple, and teal scraps (about 100gm each, used scale to select). First color divided to use as the final color as well, otherwise put colors in the desired order and started the next every time one was used up.

56SC around, worked into back bump of chain and zip stitch closed at the end to join.
