Dark Matter Cowl begins similar to a top-down triangular shawl with an I-cord tab cast-on. After working several rows flat, the ends are joined, and patterning continues in the round to create a bandana style cowl. This method of construction requires no seaming.

The pattern itself includes fully written and charted instructions. I’ve also included several helpful links and diagrams to confidently guide you on your knitting journey.
