A beautiful textured bandana cowl is a wardrobe staple. It’s easy to style without a lot of bulk in the back of the neck. This is a seamless knit started in the round, using Japanese short rows to provide the shaping from the bottom upwards and out. It is then joined back together in the back to lengthen. Blocking is essential to uncurl and create the shape.

Pattern is written for adult size with suggestions in notes on how to adjust for additional sizes. Tutorials links are included for the Japanese short rows.
