This small bandana cowl uses two different stitches to play with the colors in a variegated skein of fingering weight yarn. The linen stitch at the top is worked back and forth and blends colors together, while the rows of shell stitches at the bottom cluster sections of color.

Arcade is quick and fun to work and is a nice little accessory for the neckline of your jacket.

This pattern includes both written instructions and charts.

Because I’m a leftie and I hate flipping charts in my head, this pattern also includes reversed charts for my fellow leftie crocheters.
