DIY: Striped Crochet Cowl Made From Yarn Scraps!

After rearranging and organizing my ever so growing yarn stash, collecting all the scraps into a bin. The idea popped in my head to create a tutorial for making something out of nothing. Which would also be an awesome series to make as well! I've seen numerous creations from others who have done the same thing and I wanted to try it out for myself! So the first idea that popped in my head was a multicolored cowl!

The Ingredients:

>> Scissors

>> J10/6.00 MM Crochet Hook

>> Scrap/Leftover Yarn

Crochet Techniques with abbreviations:
