UNRAVEL YOUR SWEATERS TO MAKE NEW CLOTHES

Do it! One of the best tutorials is at neauveau fiber arts.



Here's another tutorial from craft. Her advice is mostly the same as I would give, except I don't avoid intarsia sweaters; they take longer but actually yield more yarn in the end!

Then, use your "new" yarn to make a cowl to keep you warm!

Some free patterns from 'THE INTERNET':

Chunky knit cowl
XO UO cowl (longer)

Cashmere (ribbed) cowl
