-worked in 2 main colors, with a pop of a third, this bandana-styled cowl begins its journey as an asymmetrical triangle. Bands of texture & color coordinate with strategic increases & decreases to form the straight edges at each end of the piece. These 2 edges are seamed with a mattress stitch to close the back of the cowl. – and voilà! The look of a triangular wrap with the secure wear of a cowl.
