Cowboy Illusion
Looking for some cowboy flair combined with modern style that I could wear anywhere, I thought of this shape. It’s circular, like a cowl, but has a point, like a bandanna, yet has no knot to tie in the back. It’s deep enough to be worn unfolded, for maximum drape, or folded, to show off both sides of the pattern. Clean vertical stripes
shimmer between subtle shadow-knit blocks, then do something completely different on the back. Have fun, and wear it in every way you can think of!
