Which is the road less travelled? Not the Neon Road. It was so fun to make I’d travel it again and again!

This fun bandana cowl is fun to make and even more fun to wear! You start with a single square and then you make the back triangle. These pieces are joined by picking up stitches for the final two triangles! It’s mainly super squishy garter stitch with a little bit of brioche striping and a little dashed line… like every good road.

It’s an addictive knit, with lots of simple garter to keep you racing to the next milestone. Are you ready to ride? On your mark, get set, knit!
