Wiggentree Bandana Cowl

The coordinating bandana cowl to the Wiggentree Hat makes an ultra-squishy and textured fabric that will keep you warm and cozy. Photo tutorials are included in the pattern as well as a video link by my friend Tabitha @faintinggoatfiberco to help you with the special stitches. This is shaped using short rows and begin by casting on in the round, then building it upwards and out from the tip.

Bandana cowls are such a fun way to style a cowl without a lot of bulk. A seamless knit, this is started in the round and shaped using short rows, adding texture and dip stitches to test your skills.

This design requires one to understand the fundamentals and principles behind German short rows to be successful. Make it longer to add more scrunchy warmth or keep it short for a lightweight accessory.
