This bandana shaped cow-l will bring out the cow-wrangler in anyone! The body of the cowl is worked from the top center down. After a bit of fun shaping the edge of the sky, you’ll knit the background for the cow.

Dreading duplicate stitch for the spots? (It’s not that bad…I promise…I made a video!) If you really don’t want to do it, you could find some variegated or self-striping yarn to do the work for you. The fence creates a lovely edge with some texture and a little slipped stitch fun.

See the other two cowls in the herd here--Moo Cowl, Mini Moo Cowl.
