This pattern is a spin-off from the Cobblestone Court Wrap.

One thing leads to another. Yarn remained from the Cobblestone Court Wrap, and I wanted to play with the stitch patterns in another venue. Thus, this Bandana-shaped cowl came into being.

Features

  • Tab Cast on
  • Knit top down like a triangle shawl
  • A nifty join for joining in the round
  • Three stitch patterns: Lace, mosaic, 3x3 garter rib
  • Tutorial for mosaic knitting
  • Easy to read charts
  • Step by step instructions, but not line by line written directions
  • A great stash buster project.

I was able to make two cowls from the yarn that remained from Cobblestone Court. Make one as a gift and keep one for yourself.
