The Braided Bandit Cowl replicates the appearance of a triangle shawl with the practicality of a cowl. This design gives you a draped, pointed look without having to manage extra bulk or tied ends around your neck.

A Braided Cable accent frames the design along the edging to create a clean, polished edge. While Petal Stitches decorate the main body of the cowl to create a beautifully textured fabric.

Direct links to video tutorials are included inside the pattern to support you through the special stitches.
