Marquee Cowl pairs a classic bandana shape with slip stitch colorwork. Slipping stitches is one of the easiest ways to bring colorwork into a project since only one color is worked per row. This is a welcoming project for advanced beginner to intermediate knitters building their skills.

Inspired by large triangular shawls, this scaled-down version is worked flat in fingering weight yarn, with plenty of texture and a mitered border. It layers beautifully under coats or over sweaters.

Written instructions, a chart, and a row-by-row tracker are all included, so you’ll always know exactly where you are in the project.

Instructions are included for a two-color or three-color version.
