Time to fill up my charity box!
Via Pinterest I found this diagram (TheGatorProject.org):
So off I went stash diving.
I cut out several pieces of fleece (left over from my kid’s blankets I made last year).
I cut the instructed size, made sure my stretch was going the correct way and went to zigzag sewing town.
Well, I attempted to try one on after they were all done.
Damn, these things are SUPER tight and it was a struggle to get them over my head.
Is my head abnormally large?
I don’t think so.
Did I measure wrong or use a ridicuous seam allowance?
No.
So, tah-dah- I made KID neck warmers!
A pinterest fail can be spun into a win!
Even though they didn’t turn out as expected, they will keep several people warm and that is a total win 🙂
Have a great day!
Those look super cozy! 🙂

Are gators cowls? That’s an interesting charity. What a great way to stash bust.

Tight cowls. It was a great way to use up some left over fleece! For adults though, I would increase the length (made with a 20X20inch square), to at least 25inches.
