Looking for the crochet version? It’s here.

This bandana cowl pattern features garter stitch fabric with an i-cord edging. It is worked from the top down, beginning with a flat triangle, then joined to work a flared tube in the round. The pattern includes video tutorial links for the relevant techniques.

The pattern is incredibly versatile too. You could easily use any yarn weight you like. The pattern includes measurements at each step, as well as guidelines on how and where adjustments can be made, so you can work your cowl at whatever gauge you’ve got, in whatever size you need!

Plus, you can have tons of fun playing with color combos!

• Grab a semi-solid mini skein to accentuate that sassy speckle!
• Stick with a neutral base, then add a pop of neon in the trim!
• Let that gorgeous gradient shine!
• Wanna bust that stash? Try a scrappy stripey version!
