I wanted to make and send a gift to a dear friend of mine in Australia. He told me that it does get cold enough in Sydney to warrant scarves so I decided to make up a small cowl for him. Unisex and not too bulky. Fit was good. If it were met, I’d have made it tighter but he couldn’t try it one as I made it.
Nice, simple pattern that I would make again.
Bandana Cowl, started November 6, 2016, finished November 11, 2016.
Pattern: Bandana Cowl
Made for: Mark and sent to Australia.
Yarn: Lion Brand Fisherman’s Wool – 100% wool
Needles: US9/5.5mm
Modifications & Notes: This pattern was made for thicker yarn. Next time, I would add one row between the first few decrease rounds for the point to be less pointy.
CO 97 German Twisted CO. Adapted heavily from happygolightly’s Bandana Cowl on Ravelry.
Set-up Round: Purl all stitches.
Round 1: K47, S2KPO, knit to end of round. (95 stitches)

Set-up Round: K20, place marker, k49, place marker, knit to end of round.
……
knit 3 rounds after the first decrease.
* decrease round
then knit 2 rounds and repeat from ! 3 times.
** decrease round
then knit 1 round and repeat from !! 6 more times.
Cost of Project: This yarn was part of 2 skeins I bought to make other things and have gotten a couple of small projects from it. I’d say this was $2 in terms of percent in yard or even less.
Would I knit it again? Yes. I was even considering making one for myself.
