Advent kit aficionados rejoice – this pattern is the perfect solution to those tiny leftovers! Get one more pattern out of your advent kit without splitting it up, or make your own kit from scraps. Relaxing garter alternates with simple lace, and each stripe is over so quick you won’t want to stop knitting until you’re done! This cowl is provisionally cast on and worked flat, horizontally in stripes, until the desired length is reached. It’s finished with a three-needle bind-off. It can be easily lengthened or shortened by adding/subtracting repeats. If you have slightly less than 5g for your scraps, consider working only 1 or 2 garter ridges at the beginning and end of each color. If you’d prefer a scarf, simply use your favorite cast-on and bind-off and just do the “Work Stripes” section until desired length is reached.
