Use Up Your Scraps on this Bias-Knit Shawl

June 28, 2019 by Sarah White

Summer is for scrap projects. (OK, anytime is a good time for scrappy projects, but I can’t resist some alliteration.)

I just finished a shawl and had a little bit of yarn left, which got me thinking about all the little bits of sock yarn that are left at the ends of projects. Or if you’re a fan of mini skeins you probably have more of those than you know what to do with.

Either way, this simple Scrappy Bias Shawl from Emily Clauson is a great use of yarn little odds and ends.

It’s a asymmetrical triangle worked on the bias, by increasing on one side and decreasing on the other. Changing colors randomly gives it a fun, scrappy look (there are some versions that have more regular stripes, too, and both routes are lovely).

Grab the free pattern on Ravelry.

20 Cowl Crochet Patterns For Winter Gifting

 

 

Have you ever wondered who invented the cowl? The cowl, a hooded garment, has its origins in the Early Middle Ages. It became the formal attire for those in monastic life, as both St. Jerome and John Cassian refer to its use among monks. Over time, the cowl evolved beyond religious contexts, becoming a fashionable accessory during the Renaissance, often crafted from luxurious fabrics like silk and velvet. Its versatility and historical significance make it a fascinating piece of clothing history.

So with that little snippet of information, let’s jump straight into our roundup of cowls.  These cowls are perfect for making as gifts for loved ones this winter holidays. However I prefer to make cowls for myself, it is something versatile, quick and I can crochet one for every outfit color scheme.
