This cowl shape is based on the knit version of the bandana cowl (http://www.purlbee.com/bandana-cowl/) which I really loved and wanted to recreate in crochet. I’ve used a up and down stitch for some subtle texture without losing the well-defined shape of the scarf.

I’m really pleased with how this has turned out and looks just as good with a multicoloured yarn like this one or in a plain colour.
Lovely and cosy and won’t blow away in the wind or get caught in doors :)
