Any Size Scrap Cowl
Use any colors or any sequence that you want. But for those interested in making it exactly as this, I’ve given my color sequence below.
Despite it being a stashbuster project, I still have yarn left over… So I’ll have to make something for Barbie now in order to use it all up.
The hat pictured is crocheted using the same stitch pattern, but without all the color. I crocheted that first and then used the scraps for the cowl. The hat pattern is here: Any Size Hat. You might also be interested in this crochet chunky cowl, or, check out the main category for crochet cowls.

Notes and Tips from Testers:
- Carry the colors up whenever you’ll be needing it again for the next round. I did this on the black, but cut all other colors.
- I joined the new color with the joining slip stitch as I joined each round.

Love your patterns. Can’t wait to make a set of the Any Size Hat, Cowl, and Fingerless Mitts. Thank you.

Your work is B U T FUL
Thank you Ann :)
How would you suggest making one of these for a child?
Hi Leah, Chain any multiple of 2 to get the length that you want. Then simply follow the pattern. Good luck. :)
Mine came out really nice, thanks for teaching me a new stitch, I used black, white, grey and one row in middle for a pop of color in a soft teal.
You’re very welcome. I’m glad it came out nice for you. :)
