This PDF donwload includes patterns for the fingerless mitts, the mittens, and the cowl. This pattern is ideal for using up leftover scraps of worsted weight yarn, and has been shown in an array of mismatched yarns to demonstrate the appeal of this technique. In total, 1 ball of each of the yarns called for were used to make the fingerless mitts, mittens, and cowl, and there was a bit of everything left over except the HiKoo. If you plan to make just the fingerless mitts, you will need about 120 yards total. For the mittens, you will need about 140 yards, and for the cowl, just 250 yards. Because you'll use at least two colors for each of these projects, you really can get away with using 50-60 yard scraps! The cowl is especially great for using up scraps because you can change up the colors for each and every stripe if you like (and the 4-page PDF tells you exactly how to do it); each one will use about 30 yards of yarn.
