You new neck bestie: the Panorama Bandana Cowl! This squishy knit tucks nicely underneath jackets in the spring and fall while adding a fantastic pop of color to any outfit. With its simple garter stitch body and i-cord edgings, this cowl looks amazing in any type of yarn color style: solid, multi, self-stripe, and speckle. Pick a skein of your favorite fingering or sport weight and cast on!

Construction Details:
The Panorama Bandana is worked flat from the bottom point with i-cord slipped stitch edges. After working the lower triangle, the cowl can either be joined in the round or worked flat and seamed for the upper portion.

The pattern provides instructions for fingering weight or sport weight yarn. Fingering weight yarn creates a soft cowl with more drape, sport weight yarn will create a denser, warmer cowl.
