Unsure what to do with the scraps left over from your recent projects? Searching for a project to showcase your advent calendar mini skeins? Karlovy is the perfect solution.

Featuring an intuitive and easily memorisable slip stitch pattern, the cowl is just as fun to knit as it is to wear. Plus, it’s entirely customisable - the pattern is written to work with as many or as few colours as you have, and includes the numbers for both fingering and DK weight yarn as well as instructions for two different stripe options.
