Okay, this post may be a flash of brilliance or a flash of crazy…I’m not sure. I have a bag full of tiny balls and not so tiny sock leftovers after working mitre squares from my Sock Yarn Memory Blanket. Look at all that crazy color!
I’m also a subscriber to Mary of Kino Knits newsletter. And one of the perks is coupons and sometimes a free pattern. She recently launched the Daunt Cowl and it’s free to subscribers. It’s just so gorgeous!!

What would happen if I made a crazy scrappy Daunt?? I could maybe make a rainbow, or just work crazy random colors, or maybe a stay in a single color family? I wouldn’t necessarily have enough of any one scarp to complete a stripe as Mary shows. But who’s to say my stripes need to be equal? I have some neutral sock yarns in stash to work in between. This pattern is specifically designed to use up bits and pieces. I am REALLY feeling the siren’s call of this project. All I’m missing is short circumference size 4 needles….
I think I need to send the toddler on a play date and just spread all my leftovers on the floor and have a party!

Oh that would be a total win! Definitely do it.
LOL! Send your toddler on a play date! Why didn’t I think of that tactic when I had toddlers? I say go for it!
It sounds perfect! A beautiful way to use up all those lovely scraps
I think it’s going to look awesome!
Great idea don’t uneven stripes will just add character
Do it! The pattern is flexible, and the stripes don’t need to all be the same width. I can’t wait to see how it turns out!
Thanks for highlighting my pattern! If anyone else wants it for free, you can sign up for my newsletter at kinoknits.com/newsletter.
