Ribbon Candy Cowl

The jolly, colorful stripes of old-fashioned ribbon candy come to life in this simple bandana cowl. The pattern is designed to knit up quickly, and make use of odds and ends of yarn from your stash - between 30-40 grams of colors A & B and 20-30 grams of color C.

It’s also a fun knit, watching the stripes and ribs emerge as the piece comes together. The texture and drape create interest and movement, while the stripes provide opportunity to play and experiment with colors - just like its namesake candies do. In the warm, cozy time of the gift giving season we all need quick gifts and satisfying projects to round out our knitting year with warmth and whimsy.
