Leftover bits of Merino Worsted are tiny treasures, tucked away in many knitter’s stash boxes and bins. Finally, Restitos is a cowl that makes use of these scraps in a beautiful and accessible way. Choose anchor colors and add in as many additional hues as you see fit. The overall texture and braided detail help to lend this cowl a planned, patchwork feel.
