Inspired by the skyline view of the mountains across the bay from my home in Homer, Alaska, this bandana cowl is a fun, approachable knit that is also a great opportunity to use up stash yarn!

I used 4 colors of Corrie Worsted from La Bien Aimee for mine, but you can use any light worsted/heavy DK yarn for yours. Feel free to use fewer or more colors

The Homer Cowl is knit from the top down, starting with flat knitting to create a triangle shape. It is then joined in the round and the colorwork section begins. This is my favorite cowl shape to wear!
