Why You’ll Love This Bandana Cowl
Quick With Super Bulky Yarn
Because it’s knit with super bulky weight yarn and larger needles, this project grows fast — perfect for chilly evenings or last-minute handmade gifts. Thick stitches and fast rows make it an approachable knit you can finish in a few sessions.
Classic Stockinette + Modern Shape
This cowl uses simple stockinette stitch for a smooth, comfortable fabric, then works strategically placed increases to create the iconic bandana shape that drapes beautifully around your neck. That classic silhouette gives you a polished look without complicated techniques.
Great for Learning Knit-In-The-Round
If you’ve been curious about working in the round, this is an excellent project to try. Knitting in the round creates a seamless piece with no finishing seams — and you’ll build confidence as you go.
This pattern includes step-by-step written instructions so you can follow easily from start to finish.
