This bandana cowl uses contrasting colors to build a small geometric motif with a tweedy look, finished off with a classic pointed hem. It is knit with simple slipped stitches (no tricky colorwork techniques required), making it a great first two-color project. It’s Cozy enough to layer under a coat, but striking enough to wear on its own.
