Bootcuffs-gone-wrong cowl



This is the story...

I wanted to make a pair of bootcuffs out of some leftover yarn (Rowan Lima Colour and Lang Minerva Merino). Their colours turned out too different to be acceptable though. I hadn't realized that this kind of variegated yarn doesn't have a recurring colour pattern.

What to do, what to do....??

I decided to make a cowl out of the two pieces of knitted fabric, by sewing them together. It's a nice and soft fabric and feels great around my neck.


But still, I found the seams a bit weird. Perhaps a few buttons would make it work? So I searched my button box for some buttons that would fit together and sewed them onto the seams.

I think it works, it's not haute couture off course, but nice :
