MIni Patch Cowl

The Mini Patch Cowl was inspired by two things: ten gram mini skeins of fingering weight yarn and the patchwork quilts that are near and dear to my heart. I was winding up mini skeins of leftover fingering weight yarn when I knew I needed to do a pattern to use these cute little bits. As I was knitting and designing, I kept thinking about how putting together the colors was like the way I approach making a scrap quilt, and the mini squares in the design reminded me of little quilt patches.

In the first version I used 25 mini skeins to make a double wrap cowl. I also knit a version using 12 mini skeins for a single wrap cowl.
