For this fold-over scarf/cowl, you’ll need less than 100 grams total if your yarn has a yardage of about 150 meters per 50 grams. Sewn together cleverly and folded over, it keeps you nice and warm in the front without a thick bulge at the nape of your neck.

The pattern is simple; the scarf’s appeal comes from the play of colors. So use a leftover yarn cake, other leftover yarn, or gradient yarn.

Have fun, and best regards

The flower ball is made from photo cardstock and is about 18 cm in diameter. The ball is very easy to make, although cutting out the flowers does take a bit of time.
